I run into a similar issue where the system idle trigger doesn't work. Windows idle works though (like sleep, monitor off, screensaver etc). I'm working around it and have my screensaver also trigger lock screen on windows, and have displayfusion trigger on lockscreen.

Once upon a time, I had a wired Xbox controller plugged into my system and it had a small amount of drift.  It would randomly wake my computer because Windows considered it an input device, but would not have any effect on the screen when it was drifting because most programs ignore it.  It was very hard to determine this was my culprit.
