It would be great if the SettingsLock object had a state property with values "open" and "closed". Or just a closed boolean property. Or some way to determine if a cached lock object is still usable. Right now gaia's SettingsListener.js module assumes that it can do a setTimeout(, 0) and the lock will be valid until that callback fires. But there's a race condition. I think we can work around the gaia bug with exception handling, so this is probably not a blocker. But would be nice in the API.

Currently, when I use a stale settings lock, it looks like the exception that is thrown is just a very large integer. I suppose the API should also do something more JS friendly in this case. A DOMError with InvalidState or something like that.
Based on comment #0, not a blocker.

Apparently it is *really* hard to what you asked in comment 1 from JS, so I didn't change the exception that is thrown.

You should also check that the lock is open in some other tests. So check that the lock is open when we create it and during a success callback.
