Possibly the card's VGA BIOS has 'issues' with that call.

This is most likely the case. I just tested out the configuration he has 
and it worked for me. I'm running vga=5 right now. For teh majority it 
works but as usual there are some broken BIOS that cause issues. 

Wasn't the EDID stuff getting backed out anyways ?

Only in the VESA driver. Some people did have luck with the BIOS EDID info 
so I like to keep the BIOS call in there.
