    I like the idea of using the standard locking mechanism, but I don't
    like to mark an unmodified buffer as modified.

There is nothing inconsistent with that state of affairs.
Type X DEL and you will get an unmodified buffer marked as modified.

If it makes you feel better, you could insert a string in the buffer
and then delete it.
