In fact the above should have read:

"sleep-inactive-ac-timeout" = "3600"
"sleep-inactive-ac-type" = "nothing"

As per dconf-editor the choices for "sleep-inactive-ac-type" are nothing/hibernate/suspend, but when I click 
on "nothing", the choices displayed are blank/suspend/hibernate/inactive/nothing/logout.

Selecting "blank" solves the problem and the screen blanks after the correct amount of time.

Why doesn't gnome-control-center -> power -> power saving -> blank screen set this correctly?
