I've never seen this, or heard of it happening.

Time to break out a wiring diagram. It could be a bad ecu (behind driver's side kick panel), bad wiring (a short somewhere), or a bad limit switch on the locker itself. basically, something is making the car think the locker is engaged (limit switch engaged) when it isn't, which is (likely) causing the ABS to disable as normal.
