Now that you mention it, no.  The screen remains blank from power-on to X
driver start--no POST, no boot messages, no rhgb, no VC.  (In fact, the
first time I power on the monitor and then the CPU, the monitor appears to
stay in analog mode until the machine finishes booting.  Then if I power
the monitor off and on, it detects the digital signal.  After that,
rebooting produces the result above.)

Sounds like the card you're using has a VBIOS bug.  You need to talk
to whomever manufactured the card, no one here can fix this.
