Do you know if the bug occured with older versions of the driver?
Could you try some of them by looking at http://snapshot.debian.net ?

PanelSize does not seem to exist in the nv driver, while this is what
would be required to make things work.

Does it work better if you plug only one of the monitors? Can you try
both monitor alone, and try each of them plugged on each output?

By the way, if you're feeling a bit adventurous, you could you the
"nouveau" driver in experimental.
