I don't think Emacs needs to change the (very long-standing) name of lockfiles for the sake of inflexible tools that cannot exclude dotfiles (note that normal shell globbing does not match dotfiles at all). Emacs 24.2 will have an option `create-lockfiles' that you can set to nil to disable the generation of lockfiles altogether, hopefully that works for you.
