Yes, if the updatemanager is running a refresh() operation at the same time as you're attempting to perform operations in the packagemanager, that could block the packagemanager (and vice-versa).
As for how to reproduce the problem: It seems to be a timing issue as I can maximize the likelihood of getting the error to occur if I mark packages rather quickly while PM is still fetching the package info for the packages displayed in the list.
Attempts to perform multiple transport or image-modifying operations at the same time can trigger an error. PM could hit this more often now that locking is in place and is now non-blocking by default.
