Maybe silly, but this sounds as if your mouse is doing strange things. Detected by your screensaver, which then concludes you want to continue to work.

As a workaround you could set a password on your screensaver. Even if your screensaver then "detects" a mouse-movement, it will keep on running until you type the password.

your mouse ball may be loose or wobbly or your cat comes along and touches the mouse pad every now and then or your dog presses a key on the keyboard. Try every screen saver. I'm sure one works.
