Recently I encountered a similar problem - I was reading a read-only
file buffer in View mode (with a non-nil 'view-read-only') where
SPC scrolls the page forward.  Then needed to revert the buffer,
but afterwards SPC changed its behavior to self-inserting spaces
because read-only view-mode was disabled after reverting.
