Siri would be pretty annoying and useless if it required unlocking the phone to use it. If it's actually a bug, I sure hope they don't fix it, or at least make the "correct" behavior optional.

There's a flag in settings to allow/disallow siri while locked.
I believe the flag is actually set in the same place you enable locking of the phone.
Shouldn't you be able to "tell" Siri a passphrase to unlock?

Agree that require unlocking is silly, but the whole point of locking is missing.

No, because that would encourage people to vocalize their passphrases.
