It happens with two separate machines
One ATI, with a Lenovo Monitor
One Intel, with a ViewSonic Monitor
So I don't think it's a hardware quirk, but that's up to you to judge.
When not using an xorg.conf (and exhibiting the problem above):
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1600 x 1200, maximum 1600 x 1200

When configures with specific Panelsize:
