This setup does not work since I want the primary to be the HD 5850.

Has anyone else had this problem or know of any resolutions? Besides getting a different board? Other forums state it is a BIOS issue, and that certainly seems plausible that a BIOS fix should correct it. I have sent the issue to ASUS support for help, but they have pretty much ignored me, told me it couldn't work because of the AMD chipset, or told me to RMA the board.

You are not alone with this problem. The official ASUS forum is full of people with two graphics cards not beeing able to use them.

With the beta BIOSses posted here it might be possible to run two Nvidia cards, but an ATI/Nvidia combination seems to be only possible if ATI sits in the second slot :-(
I really hope for an official BIOS fixing all this. I bought the board because of the two PCI-E slots for GPUs and folding@home (no need for SLI there)
