I can confirm the updated mate-screensaver fixes the issue (somehow).
There is still maybe half-second blink of visible desktop when I
disconnect an external monitor from HDMI port while the screen is
locked. After that, the screen is properly locked. Still, the quick
blink of desktop is a security issue and it might also be possible for a
malicious hacker to insert a USB device which emulates keyboard and
might kill the screensaver completely while the screen blinks.
