Ok, with Alexandros' help I've dug a bit more.

On my hardware, I tear everything down and just run
    sudo mir_demo_server_basic --arw-file
I can see clients ok.

I forked mir_demo_client_display_config to add extra bits:
https://code.launchpad.net/~gerboland/+git/display-configurator
which adds an "O" option to power off the display

When I run it, and hit "O", the display flickers 8 times and then stays off (mir_power_mode_off)

If I hit "P" to turn it on again, nothing happens (mir_power_mode_on). Applying the configuration appears to hang the client - I get no success or fail response from Mir.

If I kill the client, Mir re-activates the display (flickering 8 times)
