Yes, it is a bug that the "ghost" screen is used for determining screen size. To disable this in xorg.conf, see "III.4. Disabling outputs" in http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12

Running without an xorg.conf will not produce a new one. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" will make one. Or the "Screen and Graphics" GUI, but it can not yet be trusted with the new xrandr1.2 drivers, so just avoid it.

Thanks for the drink :)
