Gerald, I finally got back to this. The monitor is a 7" Lilliput 669gl. I checked SYS_5V as you suggested. It is 4.81V when the BBB is off, the monitor is off, and the monitor has DC power connected (so the monitor's power supply is powering part of the BBB). If I then turn on the BBB, it doesn't boot, and SYS_5V stays at 4.81V. If I then turn on the monitor, SYS_5V goes up to about 4.9V and it boots.
Case 2: Turn on monitor first. SYS_5V drops down to about 4V, then gradually climbs back up to 4.81V over a period of about 5 seconds. During that 5 seconds, the monitor has gone to standby (after reporting no signal). Turn on the BBB and it does not boot. Case 3: Turn on monitor first, power up BBB during the short window when the monitor is displaying "no signal" and SYS_5V is climbing from 4V. In this case SYS_5V jumps up to 4.9V, the BBB boots, and everything works great. Case 4: Disconnect DC power from monitor - boots fine. Case 5: Disconnect HDMI cable - boots fine.
