my guess is that the screen saver users an override-redirect window.
Somewhere along the line, I added code which made fvwm get sloppy about
colormaps when override-redirect windows were present. This was done
for WABI, which is also override-redirect, and sometimes installs its
own colormap. Most likely, fvwm doesn't notice when the override-redirect
window goes away, so it doesn't restore the colormap correctly (or maybe,
the override-redirect window doesn't go away, it just unmaps or something).
As I recall, the ICCCM doesn't say how to handle colormaps for
override-redirect windows, so I couldn't say what the correct behavior is.
