Adding one more comment:

I notice that the importance if the original report was been changed from "High" to "Wishlist" after triage.

Just to reiterate, the ability to mirror the display across two monitors using a resolution equal to that of the lower resolution of the two monitors was a feature available (until very recently) in Ubuntu 12.10. So the report isn't asking for a new feature, but rather is asking for a previous feature to be restored. And indeed, since a 1024x768 resolution doesn't display properly for me on either of my monitors, a mirrored display set up is not workable for me without this feature. So at least in my case, that previously available feature (ability to mirror display across two monitors using a resolution equal to that of the lower resolution of the two monitors) was not only greatly appreciated, but was heavily relied upon. So please consider this bug to be of "High" importance. Thanks!
