Right, I fixed this in the upstream xrandr git. It will work in the next
release. I also clarified the manpage about the ability to manage
multiple outputs at the same time with a single command line.

As said by Michel on IRC, the original problem is in the server. It
should cache output infos and let xrandr retrieve them without querying
the hardware again. It would be much better than trying to cache things
in xrandr or so. I am reassigning the bug report accordingly.
