We also see this effect from time to time. It seems there is still a bug in Share or in the transaction handling ending up in something like a deadlock:
- document is locked
- document is checked out (ASPECT "cm:checkedOut")
- document has no working copy (no assoc "cm:workingcopylink")

document.unlock();‍

–> could not be unlocked since it is checked out.

document.cancelCheckout();‍

–> workingcopy aspect is missing from this node

document.removeAspect("{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}checkedOut");‍

–> node is locked.

The only work around I found was to restart Alfresco to release the lock. After that you can clean the node / remove the aspect using Java Script.
