Yes, this happens for me too (gutsy ubuntu and xubuntu). The xorg.conf changes didn't work as they were posted in this bug, though; I had to use
Section "ServerFlags" Option "BlankTime" "0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "0" EndSection
i.e. the same, but without spaces.
Things that didn't work:
Disabling DPMS in xorg.conf Removing g-s and/or g-p-m Replacing g-s with xscreensaver
Seems to be an xorg bug, where for some reason it overrides all user settings.
