Oy, wait a minute. I thought the expiration date was there only to
support generic DAV clients, and that our client should know nothing
about it. So why store it in the WC?

I think the server should clean up in this case. Apart from avoiding
network round trips, it helps to make the whole thing atomic. It would
be a bit funny if the commit succeeded, but a subsequent unlock errored
out because someone happened to break the lock in the meantime.

Should look in the WC first if the lock token is there... maybe. This is
a small optimisation for people who break their own locks. :-)
