I concur.

That's not what the "HDMI attached pre boot, no LVDS" summary from your
last mail says:

             pll2_pfd2_396m               3            3   432000000          0 0  
                ipu1_di0_pre_sel           1            1   432000000          0 0  
                   ipu1_di0_pre           1            1   108000000          0 0  
                      ipu1_di0_sel           1            1   108000000          0 0

This looks like IPU1 DI0 drives the HDMI display, pll5 and IPU2 are
disabled.

I see this in the "HDMI attached pre boot, LVDS attached after boot" and
"HDMI attached pre boot, LVDS attached pre boot" summaries:

             pll2_pfd2_396m               3            3   432000000          0 0  
                ipu1_di0_pre_sel           1            1   432000000          0 0  
                   ipu1_di0_pre           1            1   108000000          0 0  
                      ipu1_di0_sel           1            1   108000000          0 0  
                         ipu1_di0           1            1   108000000          0 0  

Same as above. Did you already set the ipu1_di0_pre_sel parent to
pll2_pfd2_396m?

There's the difference. Now IPU1 DI0 is used to drive LVDS, but both
ldb_di0/1_sel (now the clock source for IPU1) and ipu2_di0_pre_sel are
parented to pll5_video_div.

In this scenario only IPU2 should be used for LVDS, as IPU1 is clocked
from PLL2.

Exactly.

It is the ipu1_di0_pre_sel and ipu2_di0_pre_sel setup that is important
here (and you have to pin LVDS and HDMI to separate IPUs). The LDB
driver will switch the ipu1_di0_sel from ipu1_di0_pre to ldb_di1 if IPU1
DI0 drives LVDS (imx_ldb_set_clock), so in that case it would be
ipu2_di0_pre_sel that had to be switched away from pll5_video_div, to
pll2_pfd2_396m.
In short, the IPU that drives HDMI must have its pre_sel set to
pll2_pfd_396m in your case, to avoid stepping on the LVDS output's toes,
as the PLL can't be clocked to the pixel clock and to the LVDS serial
clock (3.5*pixel clock) at the same time. The pre_sel setup for the LVDS
IPU shouldn't matter as that will be switched to the ldb_di clocks. So
just switching both ipu1/2_di0_pre_sel to pll2_pfd2_396m could do the
trick?
