well I don't explicitly call ion3 with the -xinerama flag on, but man
ion3 says :
"The  default  is  to use Xinerama screen information"
and 
'ldd /usr/local/ion3/bin/ion3'  says :
[...]
libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0xb7ee4000)

no, I'm sure I'm running xinerama (xorg.conf file attached)

I'm not to worried about 3d acceleration. Maybe you could look into
mergedFB, which enabled me to get dri working on both heads of a radeon
 card on another system... which, incidentally, also has the
same ion/xinerama problem.
