I had a look at the code.
The problem is in kdesktop_lock. It does a DCOP call to ksmserver's logout() 
function like this (using commandline DCOP syntax for demonstration):

dcop ksmserver ksmsever logout 0 2 0

where "2" unfortunately means "halt" :(

In case you have the option of patching kdesktop_lock the code is in 
kdebase/kdesktop/lock/autologout.cc method logout.

I'll check if there is a bug report for this and add one if there isn't

Cheers,
Kevin
