As a workaround, I've done the following:

sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac false
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery false
sudo -u gdm dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1800

Which gives me:

$ sudo -u gdm gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.settings-
daemon.plugins.power | grep inactive

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac false
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout 0
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'suspend'
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery false
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-timeout 1800
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-battery-type 'suspend'

That works well in a pinch, but it's definitely not user-friendly.

Title:
  greeter session puts the host to sleep after 30 minutes idle

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Since version 3.x, on a fresh install, GDM uses the gnome-power-
  manager defaults as-is for its greeter session. This has the
  unfortunate consequence of putting the host to sleep after 30 minutes,
  which is not desirable in a situation when the same host is meant to
  provide network services.

  This wouldn't be such a problem if there was an easy way for the user
  to change this, but this is not the case since GNOME 3 and its big
  migration to dconf. There isn't any dedicated tool to adjust GDM
  defaults available yet and 'gksu -u gdm gnome-control-center' won't
  work either because it tries to access display :0.
