I was trying to follow the code, and it looks like
/usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kcheckpass uses the kdm pam service, which
imports the common services and adds some normal pam stuff. ::

auth       required     pam_nologin.so
auth       required     pam_env.so readenv=1
auth       required     pam_env.so readenv=1 envfile=/etc/default/locale
@include common-auth
# SELinux needs to be the first session rule. This ensures that any
# lingering context has been cleared. Without out this it is possible
# that a module could execute code in the wrong domain.
session    [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so close
session    required     pam_limits.so
session    required     pam_loginuid.so
@include common-session
# SELinux needs to intervene at login time to ensure that the process
# starts in the proper default security context. Only sessions which are
# intended to run in the user's context should be run after this.
session    [success=ok ignore=ignore module_unknown=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux.so open
@include common-account
@include common-password

Which is fine for a starting session.

But, this is different from what xscreensaver uses, which is only the
common-auth and common-account. ::

@include common-auth
@include common-account

Also, you could be using KDE without having kdm installed, which would load
the "other" pam service file. ::

@include common-auth
@include common-account
@include common-password
@include common-session

So, I'm still not sure if this could be the cause of this issue, but I'll need
to know what pam modules you have enabled.
And if you replace kscreensaver with xscreensaver (run xscreensaver, settings,
restart daemon, lock screen) if you can unlock you session or not.

Thanks,
