Is this normal or indicative of a looming issue? Runs sweet as a nut otherwise. The fast start mechanism is working fine.

It's always gonna be better to let it run for a minute to get the oil round, I think most engines will splutter a bit pulling straight away from a cold start, oil works better when warm too.

To avoid annoying the neighbors (extra early starts in hot weather) I've been firing up the tdm and trying to make a getaway without sitting idling but I've noticed the old girl don't like it, seems to fart and spit a bit if you try pulling away if you don't give her a minute to compose herself, bit like mixture isn't right but I understand this is controlled by the ECU.

Assuming all service items are up to date, plugs are recent and the plug leads and caps aren't leaking, you could try fitting increasingly louder exhaust until you find the 'complaint level'. Once established, you just need to dial it back from there and enjoy the TDM

Mine does this and stops if you try to go too soon from dead cold. 30 seconds of fast idle she's happy
Mine also

I let mine idle just long enough to get the helmet and gloves on. Never a problem riding off.

probably the cold start mechanism playing up.
Im seriously considering ditching mine altogether and fitting a set of BMW F800 throttle bodies.

Pray tell, why F800 throttle bodies ?

Because they are the same spacing give or take a couple of mm, and they are 42mm and will breathe better

Mine runs clean from the get-go, also in below-zero temperatures, regardless of cans. Has kept doing so before and after plugs, air filter change.

I've managed to encourage mine to do this, by setting the idle RPM on the CSM to about 1900. When I dropped it back to 1500 RPM it works fine again.
