AFAIK the domain contact has nothing to do with the ICANN registration.
The contact details are an attribute that is between yourself and the
registrar.
Reminds me of an old phrase, "friends don't let friends register with

Best just complain at "them" until they change the lock, it's not a
lock at ICANN its a registrar lock, from what I can tell from the
description.
