This is what I get on my desktop system:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ cat .xscreensaver | grep dpms
dpmsEnabled:	True
dpmsQuickOff:	True
dpmsStandby:	0:10:00
dpmsSuspend:	2:00:00
dpmsOff:	4:00:00
sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ xdpyinfo -queryExtensions | grep DPMS
    DPMS  (opcode: 147)
sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ xset -q | grep DPMS            
DPMS (Energy Star):
  DPMS is Disabled

Title:
  xscreensaver doesn't enable DPMS

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 dev with xscreensaver 5.15-2ubuntu1. The
  configuration menu xscreensaver-demo provides under the register
  Advanced the option "Power Management Enable". But this option doesn't
  enable DPMS (xset -q says "DPMS is Disabled") so the screen can never
  go in the standby mode. The only way to get it work is to call xset
  +dpms.
