Try this slightly modified version and see what happens for 0<x< 1
locator = Graphics[{Red, Disk[{0, 0}, Offset[3]], Black, Circle[{0, 0},
Offset[3]], Circle[{0, 0}, Offset[6]] }, ImageSize -> 30];
f[x_] := Sin[x] E^-x;
g[{x_, _}] := {x, f@x}
pt = {0, 0};
LocatorPane[Dynamic[pt, (pt = g@#) &], Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}], Appearance
-> locator]
The locator tends to go out of control for 0<x< 1. I observed this, say,
abnormal behavior for all versions posted; after changing f[x_] := Sin[x]
to f[x_] := Sin[x] E^-x. It seems the problem is not related to the
inclusion of the tailored locator (works the same for the built in one).
Sometimes the locator tends to jump or get stuck within 0<x< 1 range.

A bit simpler, I think, is:
f[x_] := Sin[x];
g[{x_, _}] := {x, f@x}
pt = {0, 0};
LocatorPane[Dynamic[pt, (pt = g@#) &], Plot[Sin[x], {x, 0, 2 Pi}]]
