I can confirm this for Oneiric.

It’s not only monitor, all power settings are not respected. I set power
settings not to suspend when on AC, but the system suspends regardless
after some time.

There is not much use for system settings which have no effect.

Title:
  gnome-power-preferences monitor power settings not respected when
  running laptop stationary

Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager

  Reproduce bug:
  - Open up gnome-power-preferences on a laptop
  - set time until monitor powers off to 30 minutes for stationary
  - set time until monitor powers off to 10 minutes when running on battery
  - Insert battery into your laptop but stay connected to power cord
  - Play a video and touch nothing
  - Monitor will power off after 10 minutes

  What I did not check out is, if it matters which of both times has
  been set first.

  IMO this is two bugs in one.
  First: if I got two separate settings, they should be respected appropriately.
  Second: I do not want my monitor to power off while playing video, not activating screen-saver works, but gnome-power-manager should be aware of video as well.
