What you describe is a good workaround for the time being but hardly a
solution. I do not have a multi-monitor setup to test but you should be filing
a bug for this. There was some buzz around "fixing" multi-monitor setups in
both plasma and kwin in kde4 but that's how much I know.
I would say that both KDM and the screen lock should perhaps appear on the
primary desktop. File a bug and let us know - I will vote for it! :)
