Pin #9 of the VGA spec is 5v, though it seems unusual that a monitor would provide power on that pin

Thank you, I call bullshit.

Maybe somewhere in the chain, the 5V from pin 9 is being converted to 5V shared across power and the video signal. So even if this chain worked in carrying a video signal it could be very weak or distorted.
Purely a guess though.
