Have AMD also locked the Mobile bartons? Like the Mobile 2500?

Before you run out and buy a mobile chip, be sure your board will run it. I cant say for sure, since mine is already over 1.65 v, but if your asus board has voltage set to auto, I doubt it would boot.

I just bought an 2500XP-M (week 44 2003) and it is unlocked.Currently got it at 210X11 @ 1.6v, on my NF7-S v1.0 (so it's actually only using about 1.575v because my board undervolts massively).
I had it at 210X12 @1.85v and it was perfectly 3DMark stable but wouldn't prime (and my v1.0 board won't give any more voltage).
Unless you are planning on running a cool and quiet setup at stock, the mobiles aren't much better than standard unlocked XP2500s.

no matter how hard you try, you can't polish a turd. :]

No they haven't locked them. I may be wrong, but I think they need to be unlocked to support their power saving scheme.
