Wow, HEY! I also see the autocmd not working, if I open the file from
the netrw directory exploration window. In fact, the readonly option
does not even get set!
If I then use :e in the new buffer (with no arguments) to reload the
buffer, the readonly and modifiable options get set as desired.
I tried with the .vimrc you sent. I did not try disabling all plugins
besides netrw, but I don't use very many of them.
The autocmd works fine using splits with your .vimrc and no plugins at
all. This means the directory listing won't work.

This, I cannot reproduce.
I opened writeable_file, modifiable was set.
I :sp nonwriteable_file, nomodifiable was set.
I :sp writeable_file2, modifiable was set.
This works even when the writeable files do not exist for me.
All this was done with no plugins, and the .vimrc you supplied at the
top of this post.

Did you make sure to close down Vim, and launch a NEW vim, with the
new autocmd between loads?

I can duplicate this. In addition, noreadonly is set regardless of the
file properties.
I am using Vim 7.2.411 on Windows XP.
My netrw plugin starts with:
" netrwPlugin.vim: Handles file transfer and remote directory listing
across a network
" PLUGIN SECTION
" Date: Aug 10, 2008
" Maintainer: Charles E Campbell, Jr <NdrOchip@ScampbellPfamily.AbizM-
NOSPAM>
" GetLatestVimScripts: 1075 1 :AutoInstall: netrw.vim
As a workaround, immediately after loading a file from NetRW, do an :e
with no arguments to reload the file and set the appropriate readonly/
modifiable options based on file attributes. I do not know why this is
not currently working.
