I have tracked the problem down to somewhere in
'property-screensaver.cc', but I haven't had a chance yet to confirm it
or pinpoint the exact problem.

Could you try commenting out the line

'screensaver_register(pconf);' 
in function 'application_register'
in 'gnome-core/desktop-properties/app-background.c'

and see if that fixes the problem for you as well.
This will disable the screensaver property sheet, but the rest of
background-properties should work as normal.
