Huh? I have 2 external monitors (connected using DP) and my laptop running as 1 large desktop right now. Both externals are 1920x1200 running off a rMBP. Dragging windows around scales properly and mostly works.
Last time I tried this on Linux it was a mess, particularly when moving windows from the HiDPI to the normal and back.

How do you mean? I'm connected from my Macbook Pro to two (non-Apple) external monitors (one on thunderbolt, other on HDMI) and they extend just fine - no mirroring or clamshell mode.
If anything, clamshell mode is the buggy one - it has a tendency to go into or come out of sleep mode when I don't want it to.
No it doesn't. OSX in fact has a completely innane behaviour when a MBPr is connected to an external monitor. Meaning you have to mirror or put it in clamshell mode. You can't extend the monitor ontot he laptop screen. Works perfectly well in Linux for me.
