Summary seems wrong now. It's not about the TV-out blanking, it's the external VGA. As suggested, I wrote up xorg.conf to specifically ignore the tv-out, and it suddenly behaves properly.

       Option "monitor-TV" "TV" # in the video device section, plus:

  Section "Monitor"
       Identifier "TV"
       Option "Ignore" "True"
  EndSection

Obviously this isn't ideal, because I do have a tv-out, and I'd like it to work too (haven't tested it at all)
