Agree having two identical "Screensaver (Launch screensaver and locker
program)."
entries is likely not good.  Is there a file, obviously text file, that keeps
this XFCE autostart configuration in it?  If so maybe best to find that file
and attach its contents before making any XFCE4 startup configuration changes. 
I have looked in the various directories of /home/keypunch/.config/xfce4 and
cannot find any autostart relate files, let alone if text based.

As to the issue with the xfce4-screensaver not taking control of keyboard I
assume you have not had that challenge in your testing.

  It appears both screensavers are running.  Is it possible this may have some
root cause for who and when gets the screensaver keyboard?  Perhaps this means
either one of the startup screensaver entries is for each or only one for both
entries?

Were you using xcreensaver before you installed xfce4-screensaver for testing?
