That's perhaps just due to your gnome-display-properties config file
hardcoding the old resolution.  Try getting rid of your
~/.config/monitors.xml and boot.  It should come up fine.

Tom, I'd encourage you to file separate bug reports for separate issues.
This is because oftentimes what may seem like the same general problem
("Ubuntu isn't setting up my monitors properly") can be a result of
multiple bugs, often between several different packages (video driver,
gnome-control-center, etc.) and having multiple issues being tracked in
one bug report gets confusing, and makes it hard to determine which of
the issues have been resolved and which still need attention, as you
see.
