I don't think the autocmd Dr. Chip gives will do the job the OP wants.
Looking carefully, it looks like the desire is to only set
nomodifiable if readonly is also set.
I'm not actually sure why the autocmd used by the OP doesn't work, but
perhaps try using the BufWinEnter instead of BufReadPost autocmd.

need to do something after processing the modelines." Perhaps the
readonly option also gets set after executing modelines.
