So I would argue that it does have 'something' to do with JSF. It's in the docs and it's in the tld so why would users not expect it to work? That it doesn't work on standard HTML elements isn't good enough - JSF tags do 'other' things that standard tags do not.
I'm only posting this because I fell victim to the same confusion that Matthias is experiencing.

does not work in both firefox and IE:
<html>
<body>
<form>
<input type="radio" readonly="true" name="a">test</input>
<input type="radio" readonly="true" name="a">test2</input>
<input type="text" readonly="true" value="test2"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
The radio buttons are editable, and the text box is not, so the
browser ignores the read only property on radio buttons.
