First, there are two kinds of locks: exclusive write locks and shared write locks. The latter serves more or less only as an indication that the resource is currently being edited. It does not prevent the resource from being modified by a principal supplying the right lock token.
Regarding exclusive locks, I guess you are right. Of course a user with manage rights could unlock the resource and then make his modifications, but IMHO he should not be allowed to directly modify the locked resource. That said, I could not find a clear statement about this situation in the specs.
