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.
