(Get the code!)
A couple of things:
(1) The title suggests Mir doesn't have a clone mode, but it does and has done for years.
(2) The suggested solution of scaling is probably significantly more work (and possibly less desirable) than another solution I was thinking about...
We could simply solve the clipping bug on displays of lower resolution by panning that display to follow the hardware cursor when it touches the edge of the screen. That's how Xorg has handled it traditionally and it's rather nice. Only problem is the prerequisite to that is for Unity8 to start using USC's hardware cursor. Panning has the extra advantage of us being able to do it without having to GL re-composite the smaller display (hence I figured that will be more work).
