The lock is not in the continuation.
The lock is in the thread_state of your system thread.

No, not removing, but make them specific to the exceptions
which you expect, and let others make it through.

NOTE!: The lock flag is also cleared automatically if the
scheduler is run. So, regardless of the lock state:
Whenever a task is run by the scheduler, then there is no lock.
