I don't know about that...I believe all of the survivors have some sort of hunch that the island has mysterious powers.

the notion that they're lying to keep Widmore from exploiting the island makes no sense.

I'm coming from the perspective that they do not know Charles Widmore even exists. How could they? (correct me if I'm wrong here)
They're simply lying to protect the island from being exploited by anybody.
When Locke asked Jack to lie, it was specifically for purposes of protecting it (as it was a place for "miracles")
Referring to your part b), won't Widmore only know that they are lying if he was the one that planted the fake Oceanic 815? If he wasn't the one that planted it, he might not necessarily know that they are lying.
Anyways, I myself am quite perplexed by this whole thing--just trying to type out my thoughts.
