Public bug reported: When Expo is bound to a screen edge (in my case the bottom right corner) and the screen is locked and off, waking the display by moving directly to the edge will activate Expo. The password prompt is displayed in each virtual desktop, as well as the unity launcher and the top panel, as one would see them logged in.
One cannot use anything in the launcher or panel, but information such as what windows are open, and perhaps tray notifications (I didn't test this), are visible.
