I forgot to mention that if it errors out due to a read-only condition, but *still* changes the data, that would be a bug. Either it is read-only, or it is not.

Mark the account as a PlaceHolder account and it'll be read-only.

Oh, that's a nice trick I didn't think of!  Thanks!

Howver, it seems to me that it doesn't fully lock down the account.  If
I tried to change a split belonging to that account from "the other
side", it first nags me about changing a reconciled split, then it
errors out saying that "the account doesn't allow transactions" (because
it's read-only), but it then still proceeds to record the changes,
regardless of the warning.
Is that the expected behaviour?

Yes.

GnuCash told you "don't do that" but you did it anyways.
