When a go-around is initiated, the FD will appear on both PFDs, regardless of the switch position. However, as soon as the first mode change occurs (LNAV or VNAV, most likely), the flight directors will disappear again if the switch is off. Thus, I imagine the PM's FD switch is turned on so that in the confusion of an unexpected go-around, someone will still have persistent FD guidance.
