Like you, I've seen this exact same behavior (with SSHFS).  I used Samba 
and found it less devastating (i.e. the file isn't destroyed), but get 
the same issue about the lock files.  On the IRC channels, I was told 
that NFS is the only way to share files with gnucash.

Here is a somewhat related bug:
