Locking Windows stops all processes and threads until it is unlocked. If the Outlook rules are set to run client-side (which they must if you are not connected to an Exchange server), then there is simply no way for a rule to run when no processes can run in locked mode. It's not a lack of functionality in Outlook. It's how the lock feature works in Windows.
