Description JP Rosevear 2008-11-10 15:32:24 UTC 
From https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246092 (applies with 2.24.x)

1. 'down' cycles between cancel and text entry and  'up' cycles between text entry and unlock (maybe intentional?)

2. when the buttons have focus 'left' just cycles between the 4 buttons and
'right' eventually sticks you back in the text entry.
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2014-08-20 20:24:09 UTC 
The screen lock is now implemented directly in gnome-shell, not in
gnome-screensaver (as it was with older version of GNOME 3 and GNOME 2.x).

If the reported problems persists in recent versions of GNOME, please file a new bug against gnome-shell with the "lock-screen" component selected.

If your installation is an older version of GNOME that cannot be upgraded (such as an enterprise version), please use the appropriate support mechanism from your vendor, or your distribution instead.
