To clarify a bit more when the .h file gets locked and unlocked:

I have 2 processes running:
- sublime text with my plugin
- ycmd with libclang.dll loaded

My sublime text only opens the dummy.c file, it doesn't open dummy.h. It
then tells the ycmd process to parse the dummy.c file.
As soon as that happens, the dummy.h file gets locked. It's either ycmd or
libclang locking it.
When I terminate the ycmd process by hand, the file immediately gets
unlocked, probably windows cleaning up the file handles.
