 Yes, it's a temporary variable but doesn't it make sense to give an error because the property is read only? It's basically a no-op like it is now and defeats the purpose of read-only properties. It also creates a nasty bug because the programmer thinks they've written to something but they actually didn't.

I think there is already an open bug report for this.

I looked on the bug tracker for "properties" and didn't see this so I'll make one but I wanted to confirm first it's not intended behavior. Jonas seems to hint that it is but Sven didn't mention it.
