A couple of points I neglected to mention in the original report:
1. Setting BLANK_TIME=0 in /etc/console-tools/config in Debian Lenny
successfully disables blanking, so this problem is specific to Ubuntu.
2. For now, I've worked around this bug by invoking
setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0
in /etc/rc.local . Inelegant, but effective.
