(normally files in directories that aren't readable by the nobody user / world readable are not locateable).
One can edit a copy of /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb and put the edited copy in place either by hand or via launchctl. I replaced three occurrences of “nobody” with my username in that script, reran it, and now locate reports on all files under ~/Library — indeed on all files readable by my user.
