It sorta fits with how everything has played out.
I think we understand now from Ilana's declaration that Jacob had not been in that cabin for a long time that it was the MiB who was occupying it when Locke and Ben first went there together. We know that Claire is on the same team as the MiB and/or Christian so it all makes sense looking back at Locke's solo visit to the cabin when he first meets Christian and Claire is sitting there.
The plan for the island to be moved may have had nothing to do with Keamy and the rest of Widmore's crew. It could have been part of the MiBs loophole to get Locke off the island, die and then have his body brought back to manipulate Ben into killing Jacob. Maybe this is why Christian scolded Locke that -HE- was supposed to move the island, not Ben. So...when we look back to that first visit to the cabin with Locke and Ben it makes perfectly good sense that the Dark Man..MiB... said to Locke "help me."
