This is true in some transmissions although I haven't confirmed this in my particular one. Whether this would cause a transmission failure due to overheating, I also have not confirmed, but it seems illogical.

The following is not typical. You should check this out on your own transmission like I did but I highly doubt overheating from lock-up is an issue.
