I'm experiencing the same behavior.  Using "xset dpms force off" will
switch off the screen successfully, but only when the screensaver is not
running.  Doing "gnome-screensaver-command --lock && xset dpms force
off", the screen switches off for a minute or two, then switches back on
as a black screen with a mouse cursor on it.  At present, I'm having to
remember to manually switch off my monitor in the evenings.
