What about just adding a parameter to try operator?

         def increment(self):
             try self.counter_lock:
                 self.counter += 1

Because I would like to remove the user-visible lock entirely. Although your idea is similar to PEP 310, which proposes a new keyword "with". I think using the try keyword for this is inapropriate.
