similar problem and additional observation:

1) I've consistently had the exact same problem as described

2) In addition, I found a new mode today:

i. I switched from a single mode to dual monitor mode and thereafer my
maximized windows on the larger remote screen were incorrect:  the top
of the window was about half way up the screen, and the right side was
about 20 px outside the screen; the left and bottom aligned correctly.
All applications I tried behaved this way.  I'd never seen this before.
Maximizing on the smaller primary display worked fine throughout

ii. logging out, restarting, disabling/reenabling 2nd display, resizing
2nd display  all made no difference.

iii.  because of teh above and on a whim, I tried moving the relative
position of the screens because I observed that  I had set the bottom of
the larger remote screen slightly above the bottom of the laptop screen.
As soon as I repositioned it so that the y location of smaller screen
was within the Y envelope of the larger screen, maximizing a  window on
the larger screen started behaving correctly

iv.  so the above is hopefully a hint as to what's causing the bug - and
a potential workaround for those in the same situation. hope it all
makes sense
