I never knew that!
So far, out of all the universals/DVD-A capable players I have bought, every single one has defaulted to AUDIO.
Only exception is the Cambridge Audio 540D Azur, which isn't a universal but a DVD-A/V player, which has no way I can find to set VIDEO as dominant.

Well I think I'm ready for a shopping trip. I knew all alone that you all would at least get me headed in the right direction. What kind of monitors are you folks using with your setup? Would something small
(say 8") work?

Look here (although I bought mine elsewhere):

Which is odd, really, considering that the decoding of MLP streams is mandatory in HD DVD.

Only 2-ch TrueHD (MLP) is mandatory on HD-DVD, and besides, TrueHD isn't DVD-Audio. A separate license, with resultant fees, is required to support DVD-Audio. These are video players are aimed at the mass market, and given the poor penetration of DVD-Audio into the mass market, maybe it's not worth it to Toshiba to spend the money to support a fringe audio format on a mass-market video player.
This is not the information we have been given!!
MLP decoding is mandatory up to 5.1 channels.
Dolby True HD is mandated for stereo.
However - and this is a biggie - MLP support is not, as you correctly point out - thesame as DVD-A support, although it would take but a firmware update to initialize this.(I will go & find the links to the references, and post back later)
