It's starting to look like this is a Plymouth bug/feature where it applies the same resolution to all monitors:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/plymouth/plymouth/-/issues/9

If true then that would make sense. Plymouth uses software rendering and possibly can't afford to render multiple monitors separately, at least when they are all turned on. If that's the problem then it sounds like Plymouth needs to be made smarter and not include the closed laptop screen in the list of outputs to render. Then there would only be one choice for the correct resolution.
