At first thought that, but initial startup is smooth as could be without a missed stroke. It's almost as if it starts missing strokes after the after-glow has turned off.

Can't help but think that all the problems I explained are related to the same "sticky/fouling" component. Just going on gut feel though.

Still think glow plugs? Will a simple resistance test find the bad one?
