System Information
Operating system: macOS Monterey 12.3.1
Graphics card: MacBook Air (M1, 2020)

Blender Version
Broken: 3.1.2, cc66d1020c, master, 2022-03-31

Short description of error
Keying sets (other than Whole Character) do not respect channel locking. Whole Character is the only keying set that respects channel locking, which is surprising, unexpected, and undocumented behavior. This is actually a big pain point when it comes to animating complex rigs.

blender/blender-addons#70447 is related, but @lichtwerk mentioned in https://developer.blender.org/T70447#806580 that it would be good to file a separate report about this problem.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Create a new Blender file with the General template.
Make the default Cube object the active object.
In Object Properties, lock the Cube object’s rotation channels.
Create a new keyframe using the Location, Rotation & Scale keying set.
Note that the rotation channels have been keyed, despite being locked.

NOTE: the tooltip for locking says "lock editing when transforming" (so if we decide to respect locking in general keframing, this would need to be adjusted)

Thanks for the report. Can see keyframe for locked properties are added in the dopesheet.
Locked properties are still editable from panel so keyframe addition is still possible.

Keying sets (other than Whole Character) do not respect channel locking

If there's inconsistency between different options then that maybe a bug.
@dr.sybren , can you check?
