Okay, I /finally/ found an article on some Red Hat list (oh no - I mentioned
the R-word!) describing the problem:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/psyche-list/2002-December/msg01645.html
In a nutshell, initrd takes care of mounting your root partition, not the
kernel, so you need to make it mount your root partition in writeback mode by
modifying the fstab them building a new one.
