This is decidedly not a fix, just a workaround for others who come here
with the same issue. Provided ssh access is available to the VNC host in
question, ssh in (using the username of the session to be resumed).

> export DISPLAY=:0
> gnome-screensaver-command -d

NOTE: As with any VNC, x11vnc will display your UNLOCKED screen
contents. For increased security after vnc usage, execute the following:

> gnome-screensaver-command -a

-- 
cannot login through gnome-screensaver via vnc
