Sure -- it checks whether fcntl(fd,F_SETLK,&flock)==0.

...unless you mean actually checking at runtime to see if it's
possible to violate a lock that has been "granted".  Interesting.
This is the most promising suggestion I've heard so far.  I'm going to
run this by the sqlite people.

I am interested in adding such logic, but there are a number of
factors that might prevent my changes from having any hope of being
accepted upstream.  But the autoconf-style "don't believe it until you
witness it" approach sounds very promising.
