After updating for today, I could unlock the screensaver with the password without trouble. Dunno about GDM, the machine is at home right now.
Comment 2 Samuel Sieb 2011-03-10 21:02:59 UTC 
I see this as well, both on a machine I upgraded from F14 through rawhide and a direct install of the F15 alpha.
