I completely agree with both of you. We should be adding rationale in the bug description and make it somehow mandatory. This will ease for the committers and reviewers both to analyze the behavior and may be the cause of existence of the bug easily. 

For the current bug here is the rationale -

MSIE 9 - Fail 
Firefox 6 - Fail
Opera 11 - Fail
Google Chrome - Fail

But as per specs, it does not mention to ignore autofocus attribute for readonly element. One use case may be user want to always focus on the text in the readonly input to allow user to copy it.
