I can confirm this bug on lubuntu 13.10 amd64.

The workaround I chose (following #22) was to:

1) Install suckless-tools: sudo apt-get install suckless-tools
2) edit /usr/bin/lxlock (sudo nano /usr/bin/lxlock). It tries to trigger screen locking using various tools, one of them is in fact slock, the tool provided by suckless-tools. The whole contents can be erased and just write "slock" instead. What I did was to add the "el" prefix to the first "if", and move the "elif" testing and triggering slock to the top (removing the "el" prefix).
