Okay, I set System Settings > Universal Access > Typing > On Screen
Keyboard = On
Then I hit alt+control+L to lock.
Sure enough, I got what looks like gnome-screensaver.
Via an SSH login I confirmed that gnome-screensaver was indeed running,
and running as me and not as root.

Entering my password returned me to the desktop with no problem.
I repeated the lock test four times.

I'll ask my boss to make the same settings change and let me know if/how
that changes things for him, and pass the results on to you guys.

  After locking screen there is no input field to type password for
  unlock

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed

  Confirmed

  Fix Released

Bug description:
  *** IMPORTANT **
  If you can reproduce this bug please be sure to provide the following info:
  1. Do you use a multi-head setup?
  2. Can you reproduce all the time?
  3. Do you use ldap? If yes, using gnome-screensaver fix the issue (see comment #115) can you still reproduce that?
  4. Please consider posting /var/log/auth.log (at least part of it, should not contain sensitive information)
  5. Please specify the unity version 
  *** END IMPORTANT **

  Sometimes (but not always) after locking the screen there is the
  situation not having any input field where I can type the password to
  unlock the session again. The shaded gray area simply does not have
  the input field. I can't do anything, I have to switch to text console
  and stop/start lightdm service to cure the problem loosing all of my
  session :(
