I can confirm as of today with most current xUbuntu 64-bit running I had
this very issue.  I could tell from the following.

I went in to both Power Management and Light Locker and set both values
to 0, and turned DPMS control off by unclicking the DPMS checkbox.  I
thought it was weird that I went from display and system going off after
10 min to this odd behavior of screen would blank, BUT I could tell it
was only a fullscreen black graphic as the contrast and brightness were
still in play AND I could continue to hear the audio of my full screen
based flash player [I use Plex Media Server (god I love it)] continuing
without any interruption.  I thought it had to be something more.  After
looking around the web a little I rememebered XWindows does have it's
own seperate control for the display.  I then went ahead and issued the

xset s off

(basically x stop trying to call screensaver ever (which there is none
installed).  Once I did that t sppear to be fixed I have been running
with no screen blanking for awhile now.

Maybe it would be as easy as an eval if switch off display is set to 0
then run xset s off to cover the Xwindows portion of screen control.  I
have even been able to set DPMS back to on and have continued to enjoy
no blanking or display powering down.
