Well then I would suggest going through the tune2fs(8) manpage and
find out what could be.. tuned. You know what? I think your first
suggestion is a good one - look at the mount count configuration for a
starter.
If nothing works for you, you'll have to study the filesystem in depth.
The question is, then, as usual; why is it important? (Sorry to ask
again, maybe you don't think it is relevant.)

It is almost certainly the mount count.
It is worth noting that the read-only mount prevents writes via "normal"
filesystem functions, only.
You could still have a write done directly to the device, using the
reverse of what the OP did to get the checksum, and completely destroy
the disk content.
Or, more to the point, use a "disk editor" and twiddle a bit here and there.
To get an absolute, no write, ever, to the device, the OP will need to
figure out how to force read only permissions on the device /dev/sda1,
across boots.
