This seems to be a regression, that had happened not long ago.
Currently I am experiencing this bug with 3.13.0-44-generic (backported to Ubuntu 12.04) on a T420s. It applies to the VGA port too.
However, I used external displays from time to time, and do not experience this bug about two month ago. So for me, it appears to be added by the last two moths. However, the backported kernels may be a little delayed, so others may experience this bug earlier this year.
