If I interpret the documentation right, the locking GnuCash uses is
file creation in exclusive mode.

Though such operaton is not guaranteed to be exclusive on Coda,
normally it will not fail, so GnuCash should be happy (and clean the
"lock files" afterwards).
Looking at the source or strace results would possibly give the answer,
why you seem to observe that problem on Coda but not otherwise.
