This is a pit-fall with IndependantBranches.  As you observe it is frustrating
to not be able to change a record, but also frustrating to have someone else
change a record you are using.

I have a little fork (patch submitted on another enhancement) that hides items
from other libraries, so we don't even know when someone else is using a
record.  Our solution was this; since we can't see when a record is shared we
will block changes to those records.
