That is correct.  I've updated the bug[*], but essentially, writable image and
system-image-cli are developer tools.  You're supposed to know what you're
doing when you use them.  Image based updates will still work in writable mode
(and in fact, that's a feature) but you should be very careful when you do
that as you might get updated into an unexpected state.  You can of course
still apt-get install/update anything you want, but the interaction between
apt-get updates and image based updates is undefined.
