I had some trouble testing, I was getting JavaScript errors on the edit widget screen preventing updates from working, so I couldn't test the actions directly. I am going to try resetting my local (I see the same error on trunk).
@Infinite-Null The PR description appears to have an error that threw me off in testing. This should be wp.data.dispatch( 'core/edit-widgets' ).lockWidgetSaving( 'mylock' ); - the "edit-widgets" part is plural. can you please update that?!
