Why would you?
open(2) will succeed but write(2) will fail with EBADF as documented (and I
verified this behavior). Still no EACCES as you and the bugreporter are
seeing.
If this is really a bug in FreeBSD I'd expect way more applications to suffer
issues. There must be something else at play and I certainly don't have an
explanation why specifying the O_WRONLY flag would cause this bug to
disappear.
I suspect priv(9) to be responsible for the change in behavior you're seeing,
however that should return EPERM not EACCES.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
and never get to the software part.
