It’s possible the low compression isn’t burning the fuel properly until that cylinder warms up. You did say that cylinder didn’t have fuel in it cold, right? Dry injector and glow plug?

No, didn't say that. Is there any reasonable way to confirm no fuel leaking in without pop testing injectors?

Pull injectors to see if the nozzles are wet.
