You're right. This really seems to be completely broken in gnome 3.6.
Even writing the DBUS object path in full following the examples in

<http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screensaver/tree/src/gs-listener-dbus.h?h=gnome-3-6>

dbus-send --session \
          --dest=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver \
          --type=method_call \
          /org/gnome/ScreenSaver \
          org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.SimulateUserActivity

doesn't help.

More insights in <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579430>
(but none to the present brokeness).
