Thanks, as you've noted Juju doesn't understand locked machines in MAAS. It attempts to work against MAAS to remove the machine, gets strange feedback, and gets itself into a poor state.

Since it's in this fuzzy unexpected state you can tell Juju to remove the machine from it's own database/thought space by the remove --force, but it's not ideal.

We should be able to better detect and provider improved user feedback when MAAS notes a machine is locked.
