I don't believe Lucius knows where Sirius is hiding.  However, Lucius
saw him (in animagus form) at King's Cross station with the rest of
the Order while they were seeing the kids onto the Hogwarts Express.
Lucius now knows that information regarding Sirius' whereabouts may be
gotten by questioning most of the Weasleys, Lupin, Moody, etc.  This
information could prove very valuable to either the Ministry or
Voldemort.  My guess is that Lucius would be happy to hand Sirius over
to the highest bidder (or, whoever can promise Lucius the best
advantage).  

If the Order can convince everyone that Sirius is dead, though, then
Lucius has lost his advantage.  What better way to provide proof of
Sirius' "death" than to have it happen in front of a bunch of Death
Eaters (for Voldemort) in the middle of the Ministry of Magic (for Fudge)?
