Debatable whether the documentation sentence above really says that; it
certainly doesn't say it very clearly if so.  But that does match the
actual behavior, making the proposed change a regression from the actual
behavior, whether the documentation clearly guarantees that behavior or
not.

Agreed.

Related to this, as a path forward, I do think it makes sense to have a
setting usable as an insteadOf that only applies to pushurl, even though
pushInsteadOf won't end up serving that purpose.  That way,
pushInsteadOf covers the "map read-only repo url to pushable repo url"
case, and insteadOfPushOnly covers the "construct a magic prefix that
maps to different urls when used in url or pushurl" case.

That sounds sensible.
