Indeed. Really, for locking reasons, this is something that the API should enforce. An editor should be uploading "I changed this node from HERE to THERE" and if HERE is no longer true, the API should reject the upload with a conflict resolution request (of some sort ... details left for speculation by the reader). (Maybe it already does this, and it isn't working properly for Potlatch for some reason. I haven't looked at the source or the API docs for confirmation.)
