This is by design.

The internal checks for deleting a file (needed for delete-on-close
semantics) only look at the file system permissions.  Maybe Jeremy
has an idea but if you mount a filesystem ro, I would say just mark the
share with (read only = yes).  I don't see a need to add any other changes.
