I just noticed something while looking at my Xorg.0.log after a couple
of dock/undock cycles leading to the black screen.  I'm attaching the
full log, but what I noticed was:

boot up undocked:
[     5.897] (II) intel(0): Allocated new frame buffer 1472x900 stride 6144, tiled
matches a 1440x900 panel

dock:
[   370.652] (II) intel(0): Allocated new frame buffer 3840x1200 stride 15360, tiled
makes sense, I now have 2x1920x1200 monitors

undock:
[   414.405] (II) intel(0): Allocated new frame buffer 1472x900 stride 6144, tiled
back to the 1440x900 panel

dock again:
[   434.873] (II) intel(0): Allocated new frame buffer 1920x1200 stride 7680, tiled
now it only allocates a buffer for one monitor -- which probably explains why the second monitor never lights up

I'm not sure what layer of the stack is responsible for figuring out
what buffer to allocate etc but this does seem like the first real clue
I've seen to where the problem lies.
