Check out dialog "file is open in another application" for one of references

Cannot check out a file that has one of its references open in another application on the same machine? example below. Can't check out the assembly with its component already open. Or second example, can't check out PDF because one of its references is open

BUT can check out the same PDF or assembly on another machine with no problem.

Is this normal behavior?
