I was able to get it working by manually unlocking. It just seemed weird design:

# (1) before needing pixels
init()
    # ...
draw()
    self.screen.blit ( image, dest_rect )

# (2) adding pixel refs; breaks blit down the line
init()
    self.pixels = pygame.PixelArray( self.screen )
draw()
    self.screen.blit ( image, dest_rect )

# (3) which does an exception, but you can fix it:
init()
    self.pixels = pygame.PixelArray( self.screen )
    self.screen.unlock()
draw()
    self.screen.blit ( image, dest_rect )
