Even if it's locked it should behave better than that.
I use as a test this:
Code:
C:\>fastboot erase fishheads
Erasing 'fishheads'                                FAILED (remote: 'Check device console.')
fastboot: error: Command failed
As fastboot checks whether it's allowed to write partitions first, it will fail with a message like "not unlocked" or something.
If it is unlocked then it will say, "erasing fishheads", try to find that partition and then fail.

This all presumes that you don't have a partition on your device called "fishheads".

Also, getvar will tell us if this is locked.
