Screen locker does not work in Buster

The screen locker in Buster based Tails versions does not work.

When an administration password is set, neither pressing Super+L or clicking the button in the system menu will lock the screen.

When no administration password is set and pressing Super+L or clicking the screen locking button in the system menu will show the prompt for setting a password for the screen locker. When “Lock Screen” is clicked after a password was specified nothing will happen.
