I've hit a similar, but not identical, issue and have been planning to
submit a bug report but it's been tricky to extract example code from my
full project so I haven't got to it yet.
There seems to be an issue with nested lockscreens if one of the locks
uses a visual effect. My guess is that the one with a visual effect
seems to corrupt or override the lock count.
The workaround in my current project is to make sure there is only one
set of lock/unlock commands, the one with the visual effect. Apparently
that didn't work for you.
My stack doesn't use "show/hide with visual effect" though. Instead I
"lock screen for visual effect" and then later "unlock screen with
visual effect." Maybe separating out the command that way would work better.

Given this scenario:
command buildLesson pLessonNumber
hide grp "lessonTextControl" with visual effect dissolve very fast
lock screen
put empty into fld "daily-lesson-text"
# FETCH FILES here
# insert into field, all the while setting type styles to the last line
# as the only way I could figure out how to dynamically set type from plain text
# then this:
# finish with the last bit of text:
put cr & (line 6 to -1 of tTodaysMWS) after fld "daily-lesson-text"
show grp "lessonTextControl"
unlock screen with visual effect Dissolve very fast
end buildLesson
What happens: is this sequence of visual events
1) goes empty… as if line 3 of the above came first
2) Now the grp (with only the grc) fades
3) there is a brief pause while my typesetting finishes in the background
4) now the bkg grc of grp "lessonTextControl" shows
5) but text does not appear, until I touch the field.. the "pop" it is rendered.
