I didn't say the lock token would only contain the crev or
node-revision-id; it could also contain a uniquifier.

Unfortunately, I can't come up with a totally correct abstract
justification for a stateless lock mechanism. I could say that when the
second client asks for a lock (or even asks for "lock discovery" per RFC
2518 section 6.6), the first client's lock is abstractly discarded. But
that's not really true; the first client's lock will still be honored as
long as the resource has not been changed.

(We can, however, hack around the problem of determining which
lock-holder modified a resource, by storing the lock token in a property
of auto-versioned commits.)
