Title:
Oddly in Xenial, where gnome-screensaver is 3.6.1-7ubuntu4 the bug
occurs, but in 18.04, where the version is 3.6.1-8ubuntu3, it does not
launch the daemon, but exits with 0 without locking.

I can confirm that for me the daemon is not automatically launched when it is

Well, here (in Xubuntu Linux) it launches automatically:
$ killall light-locker
light-locker: no process found
$ gnome-screensaver --version
gnome-screensaver 3.6.1
$ ps aux | grep [g]nome-screensaver
$ gnome-screensaver-command --lock
$ ps aux | grep [g]nome-screensaver

They tell this has been fixed in 2010, but apparently not for Ubuntu:
