I think the fundamental limitation are the conditional locking wrappers. I suspect it's possible to do better than disabling the analysis here, by overapproximating the lock set taken (like you did elsewhere), so that at least the callers are checked, but when I tried it showed lots of callers need annotating as well, so I gave up at that point. Still, it might be better than no checking at all.
