I failed also to reproduce now, so it seems I've made some mistake in interpretation of size output or mixed up something in the testcase. The lockfile create syscall is only O_RDWR|O_CREAT so no truncate flag here.

So only impact remains is creation of annoying files, e.g.

/etc/suid-debug
/forcefsck
/etc/ssh/sshd_not_to_be_run

and alike, making programs react strange if they find an directory where they expect a file or forcing process to get controlling TTY when not wanted.
