Yep, you are right.  Gee it used to work.

The only other way I know to get it to stick is to modify the com.apple.screensaver.xxxxxxxx.plist file found in the ByHost folder of user preferences. The xxxxxxxx stuff is the primary ethernet address with the colons removed. What we do is blast this file into the preferences of a target machine.
