Was reported at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/29885

What is annoying is that I fixed that issue 2 years ago per
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/3034.
I can't see what has changed on GDAL or QGIS side regarding how and when files 
are opened in read-only vs read-write mode since then. So perhaps this would 
be related to a change on MapInfo side how it opens files in newer versions.
