The problem does not occur after installing XFree86-4.3.0-15.1 packages from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ Pulsar (GL) screensaver works without problem.
Thanks for the update. Setting bug status to "ERRATA" version 4.3.0-2.90.55 which is based off of the rawhide 4.3.0-55 package at the time, and would also contain the same fix present in rawhide.
