I'm having the exact same problem. What is arandr doing that xrandr is unable to do?
After a little experimenting, The difference that arandr does that the saved xrandr scripts do not is xrandr -q
Apparently that command must be performed before any modes are available to xrandr
If you edit the saved scripts and place xrandr -q >/dev/null before the xrandr commend arandr produces it worked for me,
#!/bin/sh
xrandr -q > /dev/null # <= Add this
