Here is what happens as seen by pulseaudio -vvvv during the monitor sleep/wake cycle leading to disappearance of the HDMI output:

Although slightly redundant, it looks all right.
Part of the problem seems to come from blacklisting HDMI monitors by default (not switching to them when they are plugged in). But that's the second part of the problem.

I: [pulseaudio] module-switch-on-connect.c: Refusing to switch to blacklisted sink alsa_output.pci-0000_65_00.1.hdmi-stereo

The first and major issue is the absence of any event detection when the DP monitor wakes up.

"pulseaudio -k" restarts the daemon, and probing at startup seems to find it again.
