Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.5.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-12-19 20:56, hash: blender/blender@c2a8d8b18d

Short description of error
At this page:
https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/3.5/sculpt_paint/weight_paint/introduction.html

there this text describing Vertex group locking:

In locations affected by more than two bones this allows more precise tweaking and re-balancing of weights by temporarily focusing on a subset of bones. This can also be aided by the Lock Relative option, which displays weights as if re-normalized with the locked groups deleted, thus making it appear as if the locked groups did not even exist.

Well I have two bones locked (two vertex groups):

But when I tried 'Lock-relative' option, I do not see the locked group deleted (appears to be deleted) and I can still selecting them:

This is the file I'm using:
