And also, not everything in Locke’s vision came true and some of it was symbolic; such as his mother standing in the middle of the jungle pointing up to the plane. Why would he have thought that Boone covered in blood wasn’t symbolic?

I think his mother represented the 'instigator' - like how (in the flashback) she set Locke up to be conned, she was doing the same again, this time for Locke to 'use' Boone...
I don't think he knew Boone would be killed, but I think he was willing to allow Boone to be hurt for him to fulfil his destiny.
And I still think Locke thinks Boones death was required, he's only recently said after Eko's death - "Eko died for a reason I (we) just don't know what it is yet" - or something to that effect.
But in my opinion, Locke's a bright fella - Boone was covered in blood, he could have put 2 and 2 together. However, saying that - I have no doubt that if he could, Locke would have climbed the plane himself...
(I voted: "He thought it might be a possibility and took a risk" as I don't think that Locke thought that it was 'a dead cert' that Boone would be hurt)
