So I guess we can say X does not like to configure >partially-decapitated two headed mode :) It would appear so. At least *now*. Previously, with this exact same hardware setup, X never complained AT ALL. Ever. (And I've been using this for several years, over multiple revs of X, on both FreeBSD and Linux.)
