I don't understand why the respective launchpad report is 'fixreleased',
probably it was decided to follow upstream and force all applications,
like xdg-screensaver here, to port to the new gnome-specific inhibit
API.
TBH, whole situation is a mess. I don't see how xdg-screensaver can be
sensibly adapted to the new API. The issue should really be discussed
and solved at the freedesktop level.
regarding comment #3: this bug is not about vlc but xdg-screenaver. vlc
has adopted the gnome specific inhibit API which does not help
applications that require a cross desktop solution.

Yes, it is. xdg-screensaver effectively uses --poke, which is marked
wontfix at gnome upstream.
The relevant upstream report is: /bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 579430
