Does anyone think this deserves a bug report
or am I misunderstanding something here?
Yes. Do the bug report, so that somebody, somewhere, sometime might
develop a test for the problem, run the test, and fix the problem in
future systemd, X.org, Debian, whatever releases.
I also have a laptop, redirect the video to an external monitor, and
close the lid. I believe it has the same problem as you have reported.
But, when I SSH in from another machine to run top, the problem goes
away. So, I'll have to write a cron job that runs top once a minute and
dumps the output to a timestamped file if I want more information.
However, one CPU in my laptop goes to 100% whenever I lock the screen.
That I could see via SSH and top:
