APR_READ and/or APR_WRITE has been required since the first APR release.
Here's the logic to check for APR_READ/APR_WRITE back in 1999 (still called
"ap_open" at that point):

(
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/apr/apr/branches/0.9.x/file_io/unix/open.c?revision=59512&view=markup
)

*if* ((flag & APR_READ) && (flag & APR_WRITE)) {

}
*else* *if* (flag & APR_READ) {

}
*else* *if* (flag & APR_WRITE) {

}
*else* {
    *return* APR_EACCES;
}

Looks sensible to me. The only issue I could see is if APR_WRITE was
addeed at some point somewhat recently, and this change would break
against older APRs. Might need a version check of some sort.

Otherwise, +1
