There are some newer posts that have discussions concerning multiple monitor setups:Yeah, I was able to find this post all the way back from 2009 that covers the various issues resulting in this situation...

...kind of a shame an issue pointed out way back then is still ongoing though.
For now, I seem to be seeing somewhat better results by keeping things positioned on the virtual screen rather than trying to assign them to specific monitors. That at least seems to keep them positioned appropriately once all three displays are back on, though they still drift all over when dealing with fewer displays powered on or when display resolutions change, and sometimes fail to account for display scaling appropriately.
I had seen various posts here indicating assigning to specific monitors would account for those issues, but good to now have an understanding why that's not the case. Having some way to more consistently assign things to particular displays without the need for excessive scripting would definitely be desirable though.
