While this patch is certainly sufficient both as a safety and as a quick fix to the current problem (sorry about that), it seems that the real issue is that lock__parse() returns success even on parsing failures? The following patch fixes the issue for me without the above check.
(The removal of locked.ins == NULL in lock__scnprintf() is because it becomes unused after this. On failure to parse the lock's inner instruction, the default printing in disasm__line__scnprintf() will be used, and that is identical to what this ins__raw_scnprintf() call does.)
