Bug reports without verbose logs are usually useless.

But in this case, based on what was in another report, I think I can predict that the verbose log will say
something like

xscreensaver: 13:27:37: Xinerama layout:
xscreensaver: 13:27:37: + 0/0: 1600x1200+0+0
xscreensaver: 13:27:37: 1/0: 1360x768+0+0

which is to say, the new version of xinerama is reporting that there are two screens that OVERLAP. Which
is, in a word, bullshit.

Someone has suggested that perhaps this has something to do with
XRRGetOutputInfo()->connection
but that is, as far as I can tell,

1) a brand new interface, and

2) completely, utterly undocumented.

So, as long as XRANDR continues to be an undocumented, experimental moving target, I have not the first
clue what to do to work around this latest braindamage.
