After upgrading most of GNOME to 2.20 (this includes gnome-panel,
gnome-screensaver, fast-user-switch-applet but not gdm) I can only
reproduce this using "Switch User" from the "Log out" menu in
gnome-panel.

The rest of the methods to switch user (from gnome-screensaver, fusa,
gdmflexiserver) works and locks the screen.

It would be great if someone else could confirm this.
