In this case, the slave is apparantly not configured to be read-only and
the directories can become out-of-sync fairly easily.

Nevertheless, the way I understand it is that if an *attempt* is made to
update one of the slaves, the slave is supposed to return a referral to
the master and the client must then resubmit the update to the master,
where it is actually performed and propagated to the slaves, as you say.
