Thank you for the additional information. A few more questions:
1. You say this worked in Hardy. Did you use the "i810" legacy driver that was available in Hardy, or did it also work with the "intel" driver? If you don't remember, it would be nice if you could test a Hardy LiveCD and upload the Xorg.0.log here. 
2. Do you have the possibility to attach another monitor to the VGA connector and see if it works? This should tell us if it is something particular with the TV that triggers this or if it is a generic problem with driver and your VGA adapter.
3. It would be interesting to see if the monitor is detected using other programs than xorg. Could you try `sudo get-edid >edid.bin 2>get-edid-errors.txt` and upload the files here? (edid.bin is binary, but if the monitor isn't detected it will be empty) You will need the read-edid package for this. Another program that does this is ddcprobe (run `sudo ddcprobe` and attach the output here). This is in the package xresprobe.

With the above questions answered, I think this bug is ready to be forwarded to the intel developers. If you want to give the xorg-edgers repository a try, I would wait until you have done that and create the upstream bug report with the logs from that release. If not, it is okay to forward it with the current information. However, you may be asked to test the latest development version later to test any proposed fixes. So this gives the final question:
4. Do you want to test xorg-edgers version before we send this upstream?
