a) The action is not confined to element(*)-labels. Free floating text
is also affected. 

b) Technically, it does not really lock the position but makes the 
labels insensitive to various user induced actions. Most importantly,
text will ignore left mouse click and actions that work on objects
under the mouse. You can still select the text with a lasso (left
mouse drag) and perform actions on the selection. some of these 
actions may change the position of the text. E.g, move-to-other-side

Same here. This action renders everything insensitive to most user
input except for text items.

PS: (*) Would a general switch of "element" to "footprint" receive a
warm welcome by the developers? This would provide more consistency 
between geda and pcb wording.
