xset problem -- dpms keeps shutting off



Debian/Sid, x86.

After a system update yesterday, I noticed:

  - A new splash screen for xscreensaver.
  - xset dpms keeps getting shut off.  
  
My monitor doesn't automatically blank, stand-by, and shut off.  If I
force dpms back on and a monitor shutoff, the monitor comes back on some
time later.

E.g.:

    $ xset +dpms 
    $ xset dpms 600 900 1200
    $ xset dpms force off
    <monitor blanks>

Later:

    $ xset -q

I'm quite perplexed.
