The bug still exists in yesterday's trusty daily image.
Specifically, test #1:
1. booted the daily image from USB
2. plugged in DisplayPort cable
3. nothing happened
4. ran xrandr in a terminal, external display was detected
Test #2:
1. plugged in DisplayPort cable
2. booted the daily image
3. had an extended desktop right from the beginning
4. unplugged the cable, desktop was reconfigured instantly
5. plugged the cable back, the hotplug was detected(!) and unity went back to extended desktop
6. unplugged the cable again, waited a bit longer
7. plugged the cable back in, nothing happened (and nothing continues to happen, several minutes later)
