Carried out your request regarding the installation of the upstream 
kernel and here are the results:-

I then rebooted my pc using latest upstream kernel.
Unfortunately HDMI is still NOT working with this version of the 
linux/Ubuntu kernel.
When booting I see the Acer welcome screen with the usual BIOS and Boot 
Sequence options, followed by a purple screen without the Ubuntu logo, 
shortly afterwards my screen just goes black/blank.
When I connect the analogue cable and select the analogue connection on 
my monitor I see the Ubuntu logon menu and my system behaves normally.
Therefore I will tag my bug as "kernel bug exists upstream" as requested

Using the upstream kernel I have also executed the previously requested 
command - here is its output:-

Title:
  HDMI not working after update to linux image 3.8.0.31.46

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Operating System: Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit
  Hardware: Acer Aspire x3450 AMD Athlon II X2 220 Processor x 2; Graphics Gallium 0.4 on AMD RS880; Monitor Samsung Syncmaster P2250.
  Problem/Bug: HDMI video output from pc to Samsung Syncmaster P2250 via HDMI/DVI adaptor cable no longer works after Ubuntu's Software Updater updated my system from linux-image 3.8.0.30.44 to 3.8.0.31.46.
  I get an initial purple screen, without the Ubuntu logo, then absolutely nothing.
  Had to revert to old style analogue connection to make my system useable.
