You have hit on exactly the reason why we didn't implement 
DAV level 2 locking yet :^) It would have been relatively 
simple to do so, but it would have been in a way that only 
DAV clients would respect locks. In an environment where 
people may be changing content via HTTP, FTP, DAV, xml-rpc, 
in versions, etc., it seemed like it would be better to 
think harder about the 'locking problem' and what would make 
the most sense given all the things going on. Unfortunately 
we haven't been able to get back to thinking about that yet. 

I'd love to see someone take up the mantle for this on 
dev.zope.org though :^)
