The workaround is in my original post (or do I misunderstand?).

I am puzzled though with the example you show. You are acting with
SetAttributes on Strings. SetAttrubutes doesn't accept a string as
its firs argument. When I try your example in my Mathematica it
doesn't work...

Here is my session:


In[1]:= BeginPackage["test`"];
f[x_] := 2 x
g[x_] := 1/x
EndPackage[];



In[7]:= SetAttributes[#, {Locked, ReadProtected}] & /@ Names["test`*"]

Out[7]= {SetAttributes["f", {Locked, ReadProtected}],
SetAttributes["g", {Locked, ReadProtected}],
SetAttributes["x", {Locked, ReadProtected}]}

SetAttributes::sym: Argument f at position 1 is expected to be a
symbol. >>

SetAttributes::sym: Argument g at position 1 is expected to be a
symbol. >>

SetAttributes::sym: Argument x at position 1 is expected to be a
symbol. >>

General::stop: Further output of SetAttributes::sym will be suppressed
during this calculation. >>

In[8]:= Attributes[g]

Out[8]= {}
