I'm trying to track how this generated mode fits into to it all and
AFAICS if the connector already supports a mode with the same xres/yres
as the named mode, the named mode will never be created because of the
check at the beginning of drm_helper_probe_add_cmdline_mode(). It will
just mark the existing mode with USERDEF and return.

If the connector doesn't already support a mode with such a resolution
it will be created, but should we do that? If the driver supported such
a mode it would certainly already have added it to the mode list,
wouldn't it? After all it's just 2 variants NTSC and PAL.

We have this in drm_client_modeset.c:drm_connector_pick_cmdline_mode():

	list_for_each_entry(mode, &connector->modes, head) {
		/* Check (optional) mode name first */
		if (!strcmp(mode->name, cmdline_mode->name))
			return mode;

Here it looks like the named mode thing is a way to choose a mode, not
to add one.

I couldn't find any documentation on how named modes is supposed to
work, have you seen any?
