This doesn't match the pattern for configuration files - as well as no
leading ".", it has "-user" appended. I see no wxConfig-related code
which could be doing that. Also, the reporter said that the file is removed
upon program exit, which wxConfig created files aren't (since they are there
to persist state between runs).
I believe this file is created by wxSingleInstanceChecker, which is
instantiated with default constructor in clientgui/BOINCGUIApp.cpp.
That means that the default lockfile name is used, which is built by
this code in include/wx/singlinst.h:
bool CreateDefault()
{
wxCHECK_MSG( wxTheApp, false, "must have application instance" );
return Create(wxTheApp->GetAppName() + '-' + wxGetUserId());
}
If boinc wants the file to be called something else, it should request
a particular filename (like it already does in the __WXMAC__ case).

Gianfranco - since you're both a maintainer of boinc and a member of the wx
maintainers team, you really are in the perfect position to dig into issues
like this where it's unclear which package is to blame.
Anyway, reassigning back to boinc.
Cheers,
Olly
