My memory about the new mini's is that the server version and the low-end version do not have a GPU and that the mid-tier version does have thededicated graphics processor.
So it might be that the only the medium tier mini has issues with no display attached. Sounds like a fun experiment... If folks who bought mini's after Lion came out send me an e-mail with the version and their experience, I will write up a summary to the list.
