Yep. Fiddle with teh xorg config a little (try commenting out the line that reads something like 'screen0 leftof screen1', and ctrl-alt-del your x-server. for me, it fires up the 2nd head, though cloned. unedit the xorg.conf again, ctrl-alt-del, and it behaves as you would expect. spooky bug, and been there since fc1.
