Because this is defined in the script lib/fai-mount-disk in
fstab_mount(). There I do a 

        mount -o ro /dev/$fstabpart $FAI_ROOT

so /tmp/target is mounted ro. Normally, all other partitions should
also be mounted ro, because it's a rescue system. But it seems to be a
little bug, so they are mounted as defined in fstab.

But you can use a simple hook to remount the partition rw. Just use
this command:

rwmount $FAI_ROOT
