This bug affects me, too.

Easy workaround if mouse input still works:
- Choose to switch the user (will open up another screen)
root@mymachine:~# ps axu | grep X
root      3073  2.1  2.2 229824 89520 tty7     Ssl+ 12:25   0:17 
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 
-nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch
root      9081  2.8  1.1 101696 44216 tty8     Ssl+ 12:38   0:00 
/usr/lib/xorg/Xorg -core :1 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:1 
-nolisten tcp vt8 -novtswitch

- start another x11vnc
root@mymachine:~# x11vnc -display :1 -geometry 1400x783 -nopw -auth 
/var/run/lightdm/root/:1
- connect to that with 'vncviewer ip:5901' (new port)
- login onto the same account
- other vnc session gets automatically unlocked
