Do you mean this happens with the motherboard VGA out or with you PCI GPU?

If it's with your PCI card I could believe it's just selecting the onboard
GPU if there's nothing on either output.

I certainly have booted with the LCD attached. In fact I had the grub menu
up (in vga text mode) and switched VGA cable between the CRT and the two
LCDs and whatever frequency it was outputting neither LCD would sync to but
the CRT displayed fine.
