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.
