Maybe I am just trying to understand the problem you are posing, so 
afaics MAC addresses should be unique and having the same MAC address 
behind a locked port and a not-locked port seems like a 
mis-configuration regardless of vlan setup? As the zero-DPV entry only 
blocks the specific SA MAC on a specific vlan, which is behind a locked 
port, there shouldn't be any problem...?

If the host behind a locked port starts sending on another vlan than 
where it got the first locked entry, another locked entry will occur, as 
the locked entries are MAC + vlan.
