The seller emailed me back stating that - as i suspected - he has been using the bike as is without incident.
He also mentioned the state that Fatbloke sent the bike back in.
Tell me this Fatbloke, if a lockring is such a crucial part of a fixed wheel bike then how come a high percentage of brakeless track bikes don't have them? Would that be because generally people are capable of moving their legs in a pedalling motion at a variety of speeds and hence don't have to be "accelerating all the time"?
