100% confirmed, although slightly varied in my case....

I no longer get the login password prompt on BOTH my monitors. Only on
my primary one (laptop) and not on my external Samsung monitor. Before,
I would get the password prompt on both, log in, and Ubuntu would
correctly remember that I want my laptop screen disabled and picture
only shown on my external monitor. Now, at the LightDM login screen, I
get a weird rendered purple screen that only even completes rendering
(refreshes and displays correctly) when I move my mouse within my
external monitor. And even then, it just shows the default wallpaper
with an Ubuntu icon in the background and NO password prompt.

Title:
  On dual monitor setup, lock screen password prompt doesn't always
  appear on same monitor.

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have a laptop running Ubuntu 11.10 (stock setup for the most part)
  with an external monitor hooked up to it. I always lock the screen
  before leaving my computer unattended, but when I return, the password
  prompt sometimes shows up on the secondary monitor instead of the
  primary one. I'd say it does this roughly 50% of the time.
