How long has the system been installed in the truck? You are correct that the starter should not engage while the wait to start light is illuminated. At the very least the wait to start timer should be set to allow the glow plugs enough time to warm up. The 4400 uses multiple fuses to supply the system with power, it is possible that one of your fuses is bad (or a connection to the truck's wiring) from the way the truck is behaving. If it was installed by a shop then you should have no issues with them repairing it under warranty.

Installer, IT support, and FFL. I need less hobbies.

yea, you are correct jlspitler. The shop that installed it should have hooked up the wait to start, or even used diesel delay. the shop will ahev to warrenty the install, because almost all shops carry lifetime warrenty on their install and parts.
