The bug persists, switching off "Dim Screen" makes no difference.

Yes I agree the words "Dim Screen" would draw your attention more than
"Screen Blank". But desktops aren't meant to be offered the former.

It's because dimming a screen requires setting a particular backlight
level, which is common on a laptop but the kernel interfaces don't exist
for desktop monitors. "Blanking" a screen however just requires telling
the screen to turn off, which is a more universal operation that all
screen types support.

I have a hard time believing that ignoring the "Dim Screen" setting
makes "Screen Blank" work, but I'll try.
