Running

    emacs -Q /tmp/foo.tex
    M-x tex-validate-buffer
    =>
    error: Buffer is read-only: #<buffer *Occur*>

I hoped it would say something, or nothing, about the buffer -- an empty
buffer in this case.

It looks like occur-mode may set the occur buffer read-only which
tex-validate-buffer doesn't expect when writing its output there.
