I'm afraid I can't say without more information. It seems that this is
fundamentally a race of gnome-power-manager calling g-screensaver to
fade, but not waiting for it to finish, and then calling pm-utils too
early? Why do we have a VT change here at all, due to pm-utils having a
quirk for this platform?

For an SRU, I recommend a small sleep() hack. We (should) know how long
the fading takes, so we can sleep long enough for g-s to finish fading?
