Ok, the clue to the bizarre sizing is:

[   376.501] (WW) intel(0): No outputs definitely connected, trying again...
[   376.501] (II) intel(0): Output LVDS1 connected
[   376.501] (II) intel(0): Output VGA1 disconnected
[   376.501] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI1 disconnected
[   376.501] (II) intel(0): Output DP1 disconnected
[   376.501] (II) intel(0): Output HDMI2 disconnected
[   376.501] (II) intel(0): Output DP2 disconnected
[   376.501] (II) intel(0): Output DP3 disconnected
[   376.501] (II) intel(0): Output TV1 connected
[   376.502] (II) intel(0): Using fuzzy aspect match for initial modes
[   376.502] (II) intel(0): Output LVDS1 using initial mode 1024x768 +0+0
[   376.502] (II) intel(0): Output TV1 using initial mode 1024x768 +0+0

Transient false TV detection rears its ugly head again. (It's detected
during the 'working' setup but then disappears upon reprobing.) So X
choose the intersection of the available modes, 1024x768. But that
doesn't explain why the LVDS exists (it prints the EDID for it) but it
thinks it is disconnected.

The difference in the dmesg is:

------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:455 sysfs_add_one+0x92/0xa6()

which can be temporary fixed by reverting 9661e92c10a97752. But I don't
immediately see how that would cause the LVDS to be declared disconnected.
Can you add drm.debug=0xe to your grub kernel parameters and attach a
fresh dmesg?
