Hi Doug,

The 'revXXX' messages only get fired when the 'XXX'
message gets sent -- it's a long story, but you can
find out how it works in the Rev IDE frontScript and
backScript.
So if you 'lock messages', the engine eats the
'deleteGraphic' message, and it isn't going to send it
to any other object either, which means the 'revXXX'
messages aren't triggered.

Hope this clarified it,

Jan Schenkel.
