Shouldn't really matter. HDMI and DVI are identical at this level.

OK, so the hpd interrupt does happen, and yet the live status supposedly
claims that nothing is there. Port C live status definitely works here
on my IVB, so not sure what the deal is.

Can you grab intel-gpu-tools and run
intel_reg read 0xc4000 0xc4004 0xc4008 0xc400c 0xc4030
a couple of times after plugging the monitor in, and also run it when
nothing is plugged in.

Also you could try something like the following patch so we might
observe the live status with a bit more detail. Though the fact that it
doesn't seem to work for you even when the monitor was already plugged
in is somewhat troubling:

Oh, and if you have another cable you can try, might be a good idea to
see if it behaves any better.
