This problem is fixed in Ubuntu 9.04 (x11-xserver-utils 7.4+1).
Now xrandr correctly reports these resolutions for my external monitor:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1400 x 1400
VGA connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 359mm x
287mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 60.0*
1280x960 75.0 60.0
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0
832x624 74.6
800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
640x480 85.0 75.0 72.8 66.7 59.9
720x400 70.1
** Changed in: x11-xserver-utils (Ubuntu)
