Ok, with Alexandros' help I've dug a bit more.
On my hardware, I tear everything down and just run
sudo mir_demo_server_basic --arw-file
I can see clients ok.
I forked mir_demo_client_display_config to add extra bits:
https://code.launchpad.net/~gerboland/+git/display-configurator
which adds an "O" option to power off the display
When I run it, and hit "O", the display flickers 8 times and then stays
off (mir_power_mode_off)
If I hit "P" to turn it on again, nothing happens (mir_power_mode_on).
Applying the configuration appears to hang the client - I get no success
or fail response from Mir.
If I kill the client, Mir re-activates the display (flickering 8 times)

Bug description:
I've a Lenovo Flex 2-14D which has an AMD GPU. I'm using the free
driver. I have unity8 installed.
If I let the screen blank, and hit a key to unblank, it takes about 5
seconds until screen turns on properly. During those 5 seconds, I see
the display backlight turn on & off about 5 times, all the while with
a black picture.
