Surely this is a bug. Windows, Debian, Warty all bootup fine with the monitor
switched off. At least it should have the setting from the last boot saved so
those details could be used?

It's not an uncommon usage to hit the on switch on your computer, go make a cup
of tea [or some other quick job so you don't have to sit there twiddling your
thumb for 1 minute], and return to a booted up system.
