Comment (by neil at mailbox.co.za):

 This is an issue with the interaction between X11 and XScreenSaver, not
 Myth.

 XScreenSaver has a watchdog timer that continually resets the DPMS
 options, so it prevents Myth from actually disabling DPMS. The -deactivate
 command then doesn't reset the internal X11 DPMS counters, so you're left
 with DPMS that will always follow what's been configured in XScreenSaver.

 I've suggested a couple of options to Jamie - you can monitor the
 XScreenSaver changelog in case he implements any of them.
