Growl : 1.3.1
Mac OS : 10.7.2
Safari : 5.1.1
Display Style : smoke

Sometimes, messages just don't disappear. They remain on screen, and
even clicking on the cross to close them doesn't work. Clicking them
works normally, and brings up the application (the vast majority of
cases are with Twitter, but I think it's just because 99% of
notifications, in my case, are from Twitter App). When this happens,
other messages keeps appearing and disappearing normally.

I, too, am having this same problem. Same deal with Twitter being the usual culprit, as I get many many notifications from it.

We fixed this in 1.3.2. Apple is reviewing it right now. 

It happens if you hover your mouse in and out it while its animating of the screen at just the right time. What is worse is if you try to manually close it gets REALLY stuck and you can't unstick it without restarting growl. 

A silly work around in the mean time if you see a stuck notification don't trying manually closing. If you click to close after it gets stuck it will stay stuck. Instead hover back forth really fast on the notification and it should go away.

Greetings.

The situation is better now, with the new release, but not fixed
completely.

The messages still remain on screen, just it seems they no longer get
stuck forever. Alas, it seems that they now remain on screen MUCH more
often, and always when returning from the screen saver. It is enough
to pass one time over them to let them fade away, but still when I
return from the screen saver i have like 40-50 of them on the
screen...

Just so that you know, you can option+click a notification to close all notifications. That should alleviate some of the problems you are running into with the 40-50 at least.

Is it only when you have your screensaver on that this happens?
