I made similar experiences with the semaphore locking method.
It caused two different problems for me:

* deadlocks like the ones you experienced
* if two users concurrently use the site, the results appear
  simultaneously; i.e. the one with the faster access has to wait
  till the other one has finished. This was a big problem for us.

Now, I switched to "sessions in files, use files for locking"
and the problems vanished. Cannot say what mysql locking will
do, I never used a database for session storage.
