It could help if you disable the output completely with
xrandr --output TV --off
or if you add a random mode to the TV output to remove the warning
xrandr --addmode TV 800x600

Right, TV support may still be far from perfect, but this upstream bug
seems to be fixed upstream now.

Since you seem to follow upstream closely, you should probably request
this directly to them. We try to not modify manpages too much without a
good reason. Having them fix it and us update is much easier to maintain
in the long term.
