Upstream seems to have said no fix is planned: http://<email address hidden>/msg00200.html

Furthermore, I have tried this command in various other shells and it does not work in zsh, ksh93 and mksh either. (ksh93 has a different, incompatible way to use fds greater than 9.)

Therefore, what should be fixed is the man page of flock. The file descriptor should be 9, for example.
