Readonly or not, it's still true that the buffer has not been
written since it was last changed. You would see the same message
if you ran view (or "vim -R" or "vim +'set readonly'"), made changes
to the buffer, and tried to exit with :q.
I have the following in my vimrc to avoid this problem.
" Fix the problem where when vim reads from stdin, it marks the
" buffer as modified so that you have to quit with :q!.
"
autocmd StdinReadPost * set nomodified
