I manually installed linux-
image-3.12.0-031200rc4-generic_3.12.0-031200rc4.201310080738_amd64.deb
and this kernel perfectly handles the adapter. (On a side note, I can't
use this one as the wifi driver doesn't build/compile against this
kernel.)

Any other kernel I should test or work with in order to see what can be
done?

Title:
  [MacBookAir5,2] mini DP-to-VGA adapter not recognized

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a regression from 12.10 where this adapter worked without any
  problems. The effect of this bug is that you can't use MacBookAir
  machines and use any display device with VGA. (Bad publicity to have
  to boot into Mac OS X to show a presentation about how good Ubuntu is,
  and why you'd want to switch ...)

  This bug is as similar to Bug #1222734 - the difference (as far as I
  can tell) is the MacBookAir version (5,1 - 5,2).
