column-level update privs + lock table

Hi all,

I noticed that granting a user column-level update privileges doesn't
allow that user to issue LOCK TABLE with any mode other than Access
Share.

The documentation page for LOCK TABLE claims: "All other forms of LOCK
require at least one of UPDATE, DELETE, or TRUNCATE privileges.", and
I don't see a good reason why column-level privileges shouldn't be
enough to let the user use LOCK TABLE. Is this just an oversight?

Example below:

  CREATE ROLE unpriv WITH LOGIN;
  CREATE TABLE bar (id int primary key, comment text);
  GRANT SELECT ON bar TO unpriv;
  GRANT SELECT, UPDATE (comment) ON TABLE bar TO unpriv;

and then, as user "unpriv":

  BEGIN;
  LOCK TABLE bar IN ROW SHARE MODE;
  COMMIT;
