Does anyone find that when waking from sleep with two UltraFine displays connected, sometimes one of them won't turn on?

(My setup is a 13" Touch Bar Pro connected to two 4K UltraFine displays. The issue has materialised on both displays so it is unlikely to be a faulty unit. All software up to date. The only way to fix it is to disconnect and reconnect the display - a full system reboot won't resolve it. The issue occurs in Guest User mode too.)
 
Looks like this is a widespread issue with mentions on Twitter, Reddit, and even the Apple Store review page.

A dual 4K UltraFine setup is simply unusable - you have to unplug one each time the MacBook sleeps.

10.12.5 beta doesn't fix it either.
 
I've not had any issues like this with the dual 5K displays on my 15" MBP so I guess it's either endemic to the 13" MBP or the 4K LG displays.
