There's a big difference between "can happen under certain circumstances" and "you must cflock the write". There are plenty of cases where race conditions will not occur, and still more cases where, while a race condition could possibly occur, you simply won't care about the outcome. Therefore, your statement - any writes to a scoped variable must be locked - strikes me as being incorrect on its face. It is up to the developer to determine whether the possibility of a race condition is a concern in each specific case.
