Read-only databases fail to boot after soft upgrade. Raises error message: 40XD1: Container was opened in read-only mode.

Attempting to boot a database that is created using Derby 10.0 fail in soft upgrade mode in Derby 10.1 or in trunk. (10.2) Boot fails with Error 40XD1: Container was opened in read-only mode.

After debugging the problem a little, it seems soft upgrade code attempts do change a database property value and since the database is read-only, the error is raised. Here is what I tried:

ij> connect 'jdbc:derby:jar:(t10.jar)t10db';
ERROR XJ040: Failed to start database 'jar:(t10.jar)t10db', see the next exception for details.
ERROR 40XD1: Container was opened in read-only mode.

Here is the stack trace:
