|Which?

|* There is a reason this error is not occur in write mode.

The former.

|If former, what's happen on File.open(path, "w", mode: "r")?

That would raise "mode specified twice" ArgumentError.

|If later, what's reason?

It's not a bug, but I vaguely think we might need to warn (or raise
exception) for ASCII incompatible string output to text-mode IO.
