I don't think it's something particular to my machine. It doesn't happen to you, too? I tried this and it happens the same way with the screensaver. (I have it set up to just shut the screen off, and lock it.) When I move the mouse, the screen turns on, but it takes a couple of seconds for the password dialog to appear.
(It takes a bit longer for the lid thing, but this way it can be tested with a desktop, too. However, a desktop screen tends to turn on a bit slower than a laptop's, so keep that in mind.)
