Off the top of my head...  It may be that the monitor was not added before
IPrefs has read the ScreenMode preferences.  Try adding the following to
your startup-sequence before the line where IPrefs is fired-up:

	SYS:System/AddMonitor NUM=3, NAME=multiscan.monitor

It may not be the easiest or most elegant solution, but it works.
