It because during the installation the screen resolution is detected and
written as a kernel parameter to the grub boot menu, and it's not changing
dynamically according to the screen resolution.
So if you install it undocked with a 1024x768 screen and then you connect it to
a 1600x1200 screen you get the splash screen stretched, because the resolution
of the screen is still 1024x768. And if you install it docked, with a 1600x1200
screen connected, the resolution 1600x1200 is written to the grub menu as the
kernel parameter. So if un undock it, there will be only a 1024x768 screen, but
the kernel parameter is still for the 1600x1200 resolution, which is not
applicable for the new hardware configuration, so you have to choose some
another resolution (the 1-8 modes).
The first possible workaround is to install it with a lower resolution screen.
The second workaround would be to create new grub menu enteries for different
screen resolutions.
I'm going to mark this as wontfix.
