A bit more detail to reproduce this that I think was missed out before:

It happens when the configured desktop mode/scaling is set to a
fractional value. You can have that experimental xrandr setting set, but
be configured to scaling of 100% or 200% (but see below on latter) and
you won't see this problem. Set it to 150%, log out, log in again, you
should see it. That applies to my experience anyway on the AMD graphics
system.

NB: Today when I tried to confirm this, I found that it would ignore my
setting scaling to 200% on login, and would instead go in as if it was
100%, which would also be what it showed in the display settings
dialogue itself. I'm pretty sure that wasn't the case earlier. I am able
to select and use 200% in the session, it just won't be remembered. This
sounds like a separate problem though. The problem *here* is what
happens when scaling is set to a fractional value like 150% (which it
does seem to have no problem remembering).

It also means that a kind of workaround is to set scaling to 200% or
100% before logging out, then set it back to the 150% you want after
logging in again. The problem is only when you're logging in and the
setting is already fractional, so the switch in resolution happens
during login.
