This fails for me (reported in comments #5, #13, #14 of bug 1989163):
Selecting 'Lock Screen' works in my Dell Precision M4800, when running Lubuntu Kinetic Live. The screensaver starts and runs (a bit stuttering, different from earlier). The problem is to get rid of it. I get a pop-up window 'XscreenSaver 2021, v6.02' and it should be happy when pressing Enter or OK (with a blank password) but nothing happens and I have to stop the graphical desktop environment via ctrl+alt+F2.
This seems to be different from your descriptions, but I guess it is related.
Edit: I created a second user (in the live system at the virtual text screen tty2) and logged into it. Then tried 'Lock Screen' and then it worked to get back into the desktop environment. So in my case it seems that the pop-up window 'XscreenSaver 2021, v6.02' wants a non-blank password :-/
It fails not only in a Dell with nvidia but also in a Toshiba with Intel graphics. I think you can reproduce the bug in most live Lubuntu Lunar systems.
I don't know the name of the package containing the 'Lock Screen' tool called by the menu, so please modify the target package to the correct one.
