Sorry for cutting everything. I just had a few general comments on the
suject; not really replying to anything specific.

First, is it possible that Voldemort cataloged the protection spells
on the various Horcruxes he stored? If that's true, and it would be a
lot of spells in a lot of different locations, so it would be hard to
remember it all, they may be written down somewhere.

It's possible that R.A.B. found this magic book and copied the spells
on the Locket/Cave Horcrux, and therefore knew the 'back door' in or
knew how to get past all the spells. 

The alternate scenerio is the Voldemort had various powerful but
somewhat insignificant DE prepare the various sites where the
Horcruxes are stored. They may know about the various enchantment but
not know the reason for them. At the last minute, Voldemort walks in
and deposits the Horcrux. Then, I suppose it's possible that he kills
everyone who worked on the project. That's not necessary, but it is a
valid possibility.

Perhaps R.A.B. either figured out the purpose and/or figured out he
would be killed because he worked on it, then as a sort of revenge,
made the switch, good-locket for bad-locket, and his temporary escape. 

It seems possible, though impossible to confirm, that the locket found
in the Black household during OotP, is a locket that was in Regulas
Black's possession when they found his body, and it was returned along
with his other personal affect to his proud parents. 

It would be kind of a strange iron for Harry to search the wizard
world only to find that all this time he was sitting right next to it.

Just a few ramblings.
