Have you tried reproducing it using xset dpms force off or similar?
That doesn't seem to do anything bad.
In fact, I think the second time it happened the screen never went black - just the random photo thing was on. But no, forcing the screen saver on doesn't do it either (ie pressing the "lock screen" icon and waiting for a few pictures to cycle).
Maybe the screen just has to be inactive for a longer time: do you do some dynamic "let's power things down if nothing is changing"?
