One workaround is to use the User Switcher panel applet, instead of the Indicator Applet Session. For some reason, the Indicator Applet Session dims the display before switching; when you come back to that user's session, you either get a dimmed screen (which you can fix with "xgamma -gamma 1.0") or a completely black screen, which I've have to reboot from.

The User Switcher returns you to the main login screen, instead of the windowed user switch from Indicator Applet Session.
