There was also a setting in the ATI Control Panel that came with the proprietary fglrx (or whatever it's called) drivers called "overscan" which I had to drop from 10(%?) to 0. Then it worked like a charm, and these settings only affected that single HDMI port.

It certainly did Benjie - looking through the manual after reading your
post I discovered that it is possible to disable overscan in the 16:9
aspect ratio on my TV.

I did that for the relevant HDMI port and that promptly revealed the
missing portion of the screen.

Now to see if the Revo is up to the task. The Mac Mini I have (first
generation Intel) has set the bar pretty high, but lacks HDMI, so I will
compare the two and decide which one gets the job!
