No. That bit in the FAQ is just a listing of the defaults from
Defaults.py and these should be OK.

LOCK_DIR is not a directory, it is a Python name set in Defaults.py and
possibly overridden in mm_cfg.py. Thus, you won't find it with locate,
but you might find it with grep.

If this is a RedHat FHS compliant installation, you will probably find
them in /var/locks/, but if you check the setting for LOCK_DIR in
Defaults.py (since it isn't in mm_cfg.py) you should find it. See
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-developers/2004-October/017343.html>
for more on RedHat FHS.

This is the Mailman module that deals with locking and locks. It is not
the locks themselves, but locks aren't your problem anyway.
