In the profile at the back of the new DA book for the Nephilim Jetfighter its listed as having the 'missile lock' special rule which is:

Blast weapons fired by models with this rule scatter 1d6 less than normal, i'm paraphrasing by memory...

Now the Nephilim has not got blast weapons, the Blacksword missiles are heavy 1's, so i'm guessing someone made a slight mistake or decided to waste ink... or am i missing something?

No I spotted this too. Spent a good few minutes cross referencing the various sections of the codex and the BRB because I assumed I was missing something, but nope, just a useless rule

I can only assume at some point in playtesting they had access to a blast weapon. Maybe the blacksword missiles were originally blast. Would have made the Nephilim pretty interesting, max 1" scatter? Woo!

Its a typo, digital dex has it removed.

Too bad, could have been heat-seeking for some good reason to be only S6 missiles (while Imperial Navy planes sport S7 AP3 AA missiles)

Just to clarify the new FAQ has also stated Missile Lock is to be removed from the Nephilim Jetfighters list of rules.
