I dug a little further in another direction: I had thought screensavers named like "Helios(GL)" came from xscreensaver-gl, but (as you probably know) they don't; they come from rss-glx.
So I checked again which savers are problematic, and it turns out to be almost exactly the rss-glx screen savers. The xscreensaver-gl savers (as far as I can tell) do not consume significant CPU. So I guess we can change this bug to a wishlist "make screensavers not run on inactive console", and I'll file the real bug with rss-glx.
