I don't find it ugly, instead explanatory! If users do see these file names, then it is clearer that they are lock files. There is precedent for use of this file extension[0], and there's also lots of precedent for stacking file extensions. I propose keeping the traditional `.#` prefix but adding a `.lock` suffix.
