This was what I was going to suggest. I've never tripped myself up with
lockMessages, but I can see it happening. It would be possible to write
some sort of updateDisplayAfterLockMessages handler that checks to see any
custom props that have changed, and "touches" them to get the handlers to
execute, but that's obviously not ideal. The best idea so far (I think it
was yours) is to add a displayFormat property, although that would require
engine-level work, obviously.
