I can confirm this on Jaunty, Karmic, and Lucid. The important step to
recreation is opening a package manager first (e.g. aptitude or
synaptic), which will take the lock. Then start software sources, which
does not try to take the lock until Reload is pressed. Changing the
source package appropriately.
** Package changed: synaptic (Ubuntu) => software-properties (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: software-properties (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed

Synaptic should check for lock before asking to update package lists.
