I don't think this is a dupe of Bug #1723025, which is discussing behavior when a screen is disabled such as a laptop being closed while an external monitor is connected. In my case, the laptop screen is not disabled (the laptop is not designed to operate with the lid closed). The laptop screen simply cannot be seen when using the external monitor and keyboard due to its physical positioning.
Ideally, for this bug to be fixed the screens would be mirrored and the login screen displayed on all screens. Fallback would be to implement previous release behavior, where the login controls followed the mouse pointer and would appear on whatever screen the mouse pointer is moved to.
