all I know is that my setup has worked ever since I tried the pin18-19 soldering hack job.

ATI gfx outputting (clone mode) to 2 devices, AVR and LCD.

the hacked HDMI dongle is then connected to the hdmi port of the ATI gfx that in turn is connected to the AVR.

The LCD TV has no issues, I can turn it on/off (standby button on the sony LCD tv).
The AVR (yamaha) has been the real pain here - that was until I did this trick.

Doing the tape trick on a HDMI can in some cases leave the "fix" permanent on the cable. Tape / glue residing on the pin, even after you have removed it - or so you thought
So you risk the cable, if you ever want to undo it.
doing it in a HDMI adaptor, like the angle adaptor is probably better and safer.

I also use inf monitor drivers created by the "moninfo" utility. This is done for both of the devices, AVR and LCD.

I tried similar approaches on parents rig.

They have a ati hd6350 along with some newer denon AVR along with an older plasma TV from panasonic.
In this case I was the same for you regardless of the solder pin 18-19 trick.
It needed devcon onresume.

In the end I bought the Dr HDMI and all is good.
Atleast I can vouch for this device

HDMI = something the devil himself invented.
I had no HDMI issues until I was persuaded to go for a AVR hdmi setup as it had so many nice possibilities.
Like playing games in 7.1 pure digital audio with one cable opposed to wiring up several analogue cables

so, it seems there is no 100% guarantee that these things will work.

but if you do the edid trick on both devices + soldering 18-19, then I guess the poor mans solution doesn't get more complete than this.
