This is correct, verity devices must be read-only.

Anyway, I tried to run it again and this time I sometimes get error
and sometimes it recovers the device properly.

So there is something wrong inside kernel verity target, it could
be even two years old problem with switch to asynchronous crypto calls...

My losetup "workaround" probably just changed some timining, so
on your system it does not help. I'll investigate it :)

Anyway, thanks for reporting this!
