Probably necessary. It is extremely easy to interrupt pacman and leave a lock file floating around.
If we're leaving lock files around, its a bug in pacman and we should fix it there rather than bandaiding it. That said, I disagree with your statement that its "easy" to do this.
Since this is basically an automatic read-only db there is no harm in keeping it that way and making sure it will work consistently. Keeping this for now unless someone has a very compelling reason otherwise.
Currently, lock files are per pacman install, not per DB. d
