OK, I'm using this bug as scratchspace atm, so this may or may not be correct.   
 
This message (http://winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/03/0481.html) is the 
beginning of a long thread explaining file locking in wine. 
 
If this message (http://winehq.org/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/03/0577.html) is 
correct, then the problem appears to be that mandatory locks in windows apps 
are being mapped onto advisory locks in linux.  So the solution could be for 
wine to check for advisory locks every time before opening a file, and, if a 
lock exists, enforce mandatory locking on windows apps and return an error. 
 
I don't know if that's right or if it's possible, but I want to write this 
down before I sleep on it ;)
