Sorry, but no:
it should not throw an error in step 4 because the lock is assigned to a
working copy, not a user. The user is simply required to set the lock in
the repository (which requires write access). But the lock itself is not
specific to a user but always specific to a working copy.
And that's why the commit should succeed without any problems - you're
still in the same working copy as you locked the file.

Sorry, but I'm not even going to try to reproduce this.
While I have problems understanding why people don't update to TSVN
1.8.x, there's absolutely _no_ excuse for not updating to the latest
1.7.x version, especially since there were quite a few security issues
fixed.

At least get the latest version for the 1.7.x branch:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tortoisesvn/files/1.7.14/Application/

if the crash happens there still, report it on the svn users mailing
list since it's svn.exe and not TSVN that's crashing.
