10%
Description
Situation:
There is a mod (or even stock) folder with "Parts" folder.
There is "SomePartKind" folder in the "Parts" folder.
There are many "PartName" folders in the "SomePartKind" folder.
One of the "PartName" folders is set to ORX-GRX-ORX access mode, eg set to be read-only.
Effect: Parts from previous "PartName" FAIL TO LOAD! Not from folder, that is RO, but folder, that is previous to it.

Issue occurs on Windows 7 with a fresh 1.2.2 installation, setting the entire Aero folder to read-only causes all wing parts to be missing.
Reverting it fixes the issue, parts being missing after reverting is caused by ModuleManager caching.
Logs contain "access denied" errors. Relevant section of logs: http://pastebin.com/qWB81twY
Files are being opened with "File.Open(path, mode)" inside the PartReader class, which uses read/write.
They should instead be using "File.OpenRead(path)", as no writing should occur.

I think Hexicube has the right lead on this.
It seems that Unity faults on file open of a read-only file being opened with read-write access, instead of on writing it.
It is an issue upstream with Unity, but there is a clear workaround. One could theoretically also fix this with a fault-catch shim on "File.Open" that retries with "File.OpenRead" and then installs fault stubs where the write routine hooks for the filehandle object would be. so it faults if the program tries to write to the file. It should also log the action.
