I can imagine that happening if you mount with '-o nolocks'.
Then a non-blocking lock could cause that message (I think).
Can you conform that you aren't using 'nolocks'.

Confirmed.

All my webservers (the ones that generate this message) are identical
and this is the filesystems they have and their mount options:

/ is on a local scsi disk, ext3 fs, mounted with (rw)
/boot is on a local scsi disk, ext3 fs, mounted with (rw)
users homedirs (where the DocumentRoots are) are NFS mounted with
mount options (rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,addr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
