It looks like myth resets the screensaver after executing a menu item.
 I added this:

 void MythContext::ResetScreensaver(void)
 {
+    VERBOSE(VB_IMPORTANT, "Reset screen saver");
     QApplication::postEvent(GetMainWindow(),
             new ScreenSaverEvent(ScreenSaverEvent::ssetReset));
 }

Which seems to fire as I move through menu items.  That's my guess.
