apps/gnome-screensaver|lock_enabled
Just tried on mine (fresh install I'm afraid), and with the
configuration editor open to that page, I can check/uncheck the 'Lock
screen when screensaver is active' in Screensaver and watch it change
the setting (check/uncheck) in the configuration editor. If I do the
same and watch /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock|blank_screen it does nothing.

So I think the correct one is apps/gnome-screensaver|lock_enabled. Can
you do the same on your system and see if checking/unchecking 'Lock
screen when screensaver is active' also changes the
'apps/gnome-screensaver|lock_enabled'?
