But why does the fork have to make the existing outputs unspendable? I know it is possible to make any sort of fork, but who is proposing anything that would make these locktime tx unspendable?

There could be a locked 200kB transaction that spends some outputs and where an alternative transaction can no longer be created (private keys lost and/or multisig outputs).

There isn't. 100kb is a huge transaction (100 times bigger than a "normal" large transaction). IMO, that's a perfectly acceptable threshold. If larger is needed, you can always create a second transaction.

The "one every 100 blocks" exception really isn't needed here. It's more cool than useful.

So would a hard frok to Classic result in the loss of time-locked coins?

You mean coins that are time-locked in transactions larger than 100kb? That's enormous. Of course there aren't any such coins.

But no, I think Classic has a 1mb transaction-size upper bound, which is a reasonable solution.
