Thanks everyone. I think Chris Coulson is digging into this -- it seems like some kind of race between the password dialog shutting itself down every 5th attempt and the main gnome-screensaver process trying to kill it. Or something is causing a pixmap to get displayed after it has been removed (maybe during the dialog shake animation?)
