Editing isn't locked. You can edit the collections in any way you wish in any way that the device permits. However, if you mean by "locked" that upon connection calibre will restore the collections to match the metadata in the library, then you are correct. That is what automatic management is designed to do.
I have no interest in implementing reverse editing (propagating device edits back to calibre). If someone else wants to do it, and if such propagation is optional, then FWIW I would support it. It wouldn't be a particularly easy feature to build, though.
