A lock file is generated, but it is only to ensure that when another
user (or OOo) opens the file it will be opened in 'read-only' mode. It
does not prevent the originating file from being moved - it cannot. As
Ed pointed out, OOo works on a document in tmp & memory, it doesn't
actually work on the file that was used to open the document until a
change is saved.

If you want to file a bug, then I'd suggest looking through these:
