In my system I could never reproduce this problem: when the screensaver is active, OSD messages don't show up. Probably I have a smarter X server or window manager..
Anyway, I published version 0.11.1 which disables messages during screen saving periods. However, it only works with gnome-screensaver, not xscreensaver, because neither gnome-screensaver nor xscreensaver implement the X screen saver extension (XScreenSaver(3)), so there isn't any standard way to find out when the screensaver is active. At least gnome-screensaver sends D-BUS signals for this...
