Ok... I've done some more testing.
Ahh! I finally was able to reproduce the problem with PROT_READ, and
I now see the code bit you were talking about. That's definitely a bug.
Here's the test program that reproduces the problem. This is definitely
a serious bug.

fd = open("test.dat", O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666);
ftruncate(fd, 4096);
ptr1 = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
*ptr1 = 'A';
ptr2 = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (msync(ptr2, 4096, MS_INVALIDATE | MS_SYNC) < 0)
perror("msync");
printf("contents of *ptr1 is %d\n", *ptr1);
printf("contents of *ptr2 is %d\n", *ptr2);
return(0);
}
