I agree that neither of the reasons they list are very good. Having one extra button to open a second dialogue hardly clutters the UI, and makes it no harder for the user. To let system admins lock down settings, they should simply provide a "Don't show or let users open advanced controls." key.
UI issues aside..you'd have to store the per-user configs somewhere... that means making room in GConf for per-xscreensaver-hack configuration keys. Which means creating schema for each and every xscreensaver-hack which could take per-user configs as well as keys which can be applied across all screensaver-hacks on a per-user basis. So that it could be locked down at a site policy level.
So, do you know who to contact to make this happen? Do you think this would be considered? Who would have to be convinced?
As mentioned already, screensaver-list@gnome.org is the list to talk to. The only way to know if your ideas will be considered is to propose them there.
