What you describe is a good workaround for the time being but hardly a 
solution. I do not have a multi-monitor setup to test but you should be filing 
a bug for this. There was some buzz around "fixing" multi-monitor setups in 
both plasma and kwin in kde4 but that's how much I know. 

I would say that both KDM and the screen lock should perhaps appear on the 
primary desktop. File a bug and let us know - I will vote for it! :)
