I have the same issue. Now I just updated to Plasma 5.7 and it is still going on.

However, If you edit ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and change the property lastScreen with the monitor number (0,1,2, etc.) and restart plasma, it does work!

Seems to be a problem in the display configuration utility.
