I think that this bug could be considered a medium severity information disclosure vulnerability. I'm not concerned so much about my privacy as I am for a journalist or political dissenter who locks their screen while they have documents with sensitive information open on the screen. Then, when there is keyboard activity, the contents of any open documents on the desktop are shown long enough to take a picture with a cell phone before the login prompt is shown.
