Thank you very much for the feedback.
I did not pay attention to the "to sleep" part. Does this "sleep"
mean "suspend to ram" (suspend) or "suspend to disk" (hibernate)?
But my point was that, without xfce4-screensaver being installed, and
with this "Lock screen when system is going to sleep" button checked,
my screen was locked _even when the system did not go to sleep_
(suspend or hibernate), but just after some time of inactivity.
However, after I uninstalled xfce4-screensaver, I couldn't reproduce
this behavior.
Sorry for the noise.
