The docs state:
# Set USERNAME and PASSWORD of a user that has at least SELECT permission # to ALL databases.
However this is not completely accurate. The simplest fix is to just give your backup user global lock_tables:
update user set Lock_tables_priv='Y' where Host='foo' and User='backup_user'
You will need to do this on each host from whom backups are taken.
