No. We are being naughty in advertising support for LOCK when we don't 
actually implement it. I think that was done because there was some dav 
client that would not work properly without LOCK being advertised even 
though it did not use LOCK.

We do have a ticket open to support LOCK. However, its not a big priority 
item as it does not seem like many clients to date have tried to make use 
of it (though of course that could be because its not supported - however 
I've not heard from client developers who expressed an interest in wanting 
it).
