I am going to close this bug after talking to Pete Graner as it seems to be a combination of two other bugs (bug #749817 and a bug in gnome-display-properties where it gets confused when trying to use the configuration I am). The choice of resolutions shows up correctly in gnome-display-properties and xrandr on its own works these days.

Workaround gnome-display-properties not working right:

Create ~/bin/external-monitor:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050
nohup unity &

Then run that in Alt+F2.
