The active alarm display was designed at a time before screensaver prefs. As
such, it actively disabled the standard one of the time so that it could
display the alarm info. I personally prefer to see the alarm info, but have
been mulling idea on how to also have time (as opposed to my curent method of
using a n older style player as a clock ;)
as a workaround, commenting out lines 368-371 should do it. The timeout will
still be 5 times normal, but you can disable that by commenting out the similar
code at lines 355-358. they look like this:
Slim::Hardware::IR::setLastIRTime(
$client,
Time::HiRes::time() +
(Slim::Utils::Prefs::clientGet($client,"screensavertimeout") * 5),
);

not sure why that is happening. there is no mapping for now_playing, save to
bumpRight. Arrow keys kill the alarm and the number keys snooze. Pressing now
playing will disrupt the display to show as a now playing screen. Using now
playing to show datetime is a mod that I'm not familiar with.

If you find a way to reproduce, let me know. The current version has a setting
to auto-shutoff after preset length of time, so that could be used to avoid
such a thing. It might have also been an old server bug that affected the
playtime display. There were a few in the past.
