Thanks for all that. It appears the problematic monitor is:
VGA-1 connected 1200x1920+0+0 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
519mm x 324mm
1920x1200 59.95*+
My first suspicion is that "VGA" is the first problem there. The
overdrawing of letters/pixels suggests a signal or mode problem that you
would probably only encounter with an analog connection like VGA. So
this could be a hardware/cable problem, or even a kernel driver problem.
Not sure.

Bug description:
On my system I have two display: one in landscape, and one in
portrait. The landscape display is fine, but the portrait display is
corrupted. If I unplug the display from the computer for some time and
then plug it back in it will occasionally fix the problem.
Once the problem is fixed, the display works perfectly fine,
indefinitely. However, as soon as I reboot the computer the display
will come up corrupted again and never recovers without many rounds of
plug/unplug turn off/turn on. It's extremely frustrating.
