As pointed out by Mike in a mailing list conversation (https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2018-July/080527.html), changing the lock filename pattern will invalidate the benefits of a cross-applications, cross-versions lock mechanism.
I'm wondering if it would work to ignore the failure to create a lock file instead (and warn the user appropriately).
