dired-omit-files only takes effect when the user invoked
dired-omit-mode, in which case they are asking for omitting the lock
files (and can customize dired-omit-files if they don't want to omit
lock files). Since dired-omit-mode is not turned on by default, I
think this is not a bug, but a cockpit error, perhaps an inadvertent
one.
Richard, do you turn on dired-omit-mode in your Dired buffers?
