So I'll continue to use 
find tmp/pkgdata -name ${PN}\* -exec rm -rf {} \;
when I see non-existent lockfile path.

Or maybe try this little patch and watch what will break:
diff --git a/classes/packagedata.bbclass b/classes/packagedata.bbclass
index 86f18a9..e38ff3c 100644
--- a/classes/packagedata.bbclass
+++ b/classes/packagedata.bbclass

                for key in sdata.keys():
