I think that it started to appear with 2.52 b1, probably due to the auto-refresh (my guess) :
when I select "lots" of files (e.g. 50 or 100) and delete them with shift+delete, it often happens that for one of the files it randomly says that the file is locked and cannot be deleted. If I click "retry" it can delete the file, since it was not really locked, except maybe by itself.
So my guess would be that at a time the auto-refresh reads some file info at the exact same time as the deletion is done.
If you can't reproduce that I can try to check what amount of file and what size cause that.
Deletion of files - sometimes one is "locked"
I think that I had that with both small bitmap/jpeg files, and larger files like rar series of files, as those are the kind of files that I handle the most often.
For images I have XnView's extension showing preview in context menu, for rar there is WinRAR's contextual menu, but none is involved when I delete files as menu is not show.
And anyway I had these installed already in previous version of Salamander, with which I had no problem.
