You should probably attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log to that bugzilla
ticket so that folks can understand where that value comes from.  X
doesn't generally make these things up, so it's possible that the
monitor is simply lying about its dimensions.  I believe there is
infrastructure for fixing things up after monitors lie to the system,
but this has to be added on a case-by-case basis.
