Zack - if you just want to protect the record key from being edited, try 
setting ui_hide_key to '1'.  With regards to ui_display_only, you *may* 
have found a bug - I took a look at the 4.8.2 UI and it does not appear to 
be working in the places where it is used.  I have not gone any deeper, but 
if I find anything out I will post it to the list.
