I couldn't reproduce the problem here.

There was one update in -CURRENT on March 29 regarding output connectors
listing. I'm not sure it will help with your problem, but it is worth a try.

I recently bought an external monitor which I plugged to the HDMI
connector of my laptop. Even if the monitor supports and advertises
1920x1080 at 60Hz, xrandr picks the @50Hz variant by default (whereas the
laptop panel was at 60Hz). Of course, vsync on both monitors was
impossible, leading to a lot of tearing on the external monitor. I now
forces it to 60Hz and it's way better.

Could you have a similar issue?
