Hi Alan
Filling a bottle in a locker definitely increases the risk of an accident no matter what adaptor you're using .. as you know, when you disconnect there is a woosh of gas .. which on a normal lpg tank isn't an issue as they are usually underslung with plenty of free space around.
The problem is, that many (most) garages won't allow you to fill a bottle on the forecourt so people fill covertly .. in car boots, back of estate cars or in lockers which is inherently more dangerous ..
