It locks lower case for the current command line, not for the current alpha
session.  As proof, note that you can use alpha <-| alpha to lock lower case
WITHOUT locking alpha.  You can then press some non-alpha keys, and later in
the same command line press alpha <something>, and <something> will come out
lower case.

The lower case lock and the alpha lock can each be toggled independently of the
other, and each stays in effect for the current command line or until it is
explicitly turned off.
