Public bug reported:

when gnome-screensaver activates after an idle period, and so then the
screen blanks, then pushing the shift key to wake the monitors and to
request that gnome-screensaver display an authentication box sometimes
causes the old screen (pre-lock) to display briefly before the screen
redraws blank with an authentication box.  One can't interact with the
old display, and it's brief, no more than a second before repaint, but
from a privacy standpoint it's disturbing that the content is briefly
visible.

I have gnome-screensaver configured to blank the screen on idle rather
than to display pictures or animations.
