Sorry, Karsten, I've no solution.  This is just a "me too" reply.  I'm
using woody, but the xfree86 in woody  is the same package as sid.  
I'm hoping you have solved this perplexing problem since you posted, but
just in case you haven't, I just wanted to know a couple of things,
like:

Do you use the:
Option          "DPMS"
in XF86Config-4?  I've never got this to work, so I've always used:
xset dpms 0 0 2400
in my ~/.xsession file.
This has worked until the recent upgrade.

I'm just thankful the off button on my monitor still works :)
