I could not confirm the behavior that locked users get security notifications. Could you describe the steps to reproduce?

I have confirmed that the trunk behaves the same. I think the notification should be sent even to locked users in order to prevent a malicious admin from abusing.

If security notifications are not sent to a locked user, a malicious admin can stealthily change an active user's email address with the following steps:

1. Lock the user
2. Change the email address of the user
3. Unlock the user

To prevent such illegal operation, security notifications should be sent to locked users if their user account is updated.

I am closing this as a "Wont fix" because the requested behavior change can be a security loophole.
