You can create a user defined lock with GET_LOCK(str,timeout), see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/miscellaneous-functions.html

Do a get_lock with timeout 0, before your LOCK TABLE and release_lock after your UNLOCK TABLES.
Another thread running the get_lock will return a value 0 to indicate the locks is being held by another thread.

You have to be consistant to make this work, and it will not work if any thread LOCK TABLES without calling get_lock first.
