This is *normal* UNIX file handling. Yes, ps2pdf does indeed recreate
the PDF from scratch and unlinks the old PDF's inode(s). Acroread does
not know that (thus no messages), and no it does not lock the file,
just hangs onto the old inode (maybe), which becomes effectively
invalid once ps2pdf recreates the PDF file.

Acrobat Reader on Linux systems does not lock the file. But the file is
not reloaded automatically. You can reload the file from File -> Reload
(Alt+f d).
Alternatively you could try something automated like

in fact, on linux, acroread now has the ability to reread the file. type
Ctrl-R
and the changed file will be reread.
on windows, acroread doesn't have this ability. so if the OP is on windows,
he might want to switch to another pdf reader.

I thought that was a limitation of the OS (Windows).

If it's worth doing, it's worth over-doing.

Or png or pdf which basically is eps or even real eps via the epstopdf
package.
Sorry, pdflatex offers more choice. That's not a bad thing.
