I know that this article (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Modeline_Database) says it's ignored if TV-OUT has been configured, but I don't know if that applies here, since HDMI can be used to connect to monitors as well.  Plus, I have no TV-OUT setup in the xorg.conf.

The screen setup wizard will let you exactly match MythTV's UI to you display.  The only reason you should need to tinker with modelines is if you're using applications outside of MythTV.
