Afaik svnsync does not support replicating locks. Locks exists in the master repository and are enforced there for write serialisation.
This means that users talking to a mirror repository will not be able to discover locks by read-only operations such as "svn status -u" or "svn info", as these do not contact the master.
However if you attempt to acquire a lock using "svn lock", or commit a change to a locked resource, the request will be proxied through to the master (SVNMasterURI) and you will get messages regarding existing logs.
Locking hooks exists that could allow replication of these unversioned lock tokens. They can be easily enumerated by I see a whole bunch of problems with that when releasing them upon commit or interfering with sync.

To sum it up: Locking works in write-through proxy svnsync environments, only you have to attempt to get a lock to discover one is there.
