Thanks to a wonderful contributor over on Reddit, finally realized what exposed
this issue. 

My custom EDID setup was already in place when this started. The DisplayPort
dock that I have will not drive to monitors at the full refresh rate. So I
already had a custom EDID with a single mode single refresh rate set for both
of those. Guess which two those were, both portrait. 

I used a basic EDID generator for the mode and refresh rate which doesn't set a
serial number. On top of that I used the same file for both of them in the
kernel command line, so to the system they were essentially the same monitor
with an nulled out serial. 

My "solution" of creating to EDID with different names worked because Plasma
then have something to differentiate them by even with a blank serial. 

Wayland with the same EDID works as it already names them as "unknown
<connector type>" programmatically. 

For the X11 issue at hand, I get that it was my EDID with the same nulled
serial causing the issue. I know those get used a lot so probably not the first
to run into it. Will be interesting to see if there's anything that can be done
there. 

Thanks.
