This does no more happen if I uncheck the "display power management"
check box in xscreensaver's preferences. (Which can count as
workaround.)
It nevertheless happens, too, if X itself blanks the screen in the
case xscreensaver is not running. So it does not seem to be
xscreensaver related at all, but probably DPMS related.
