I hope that when the motor was assembled the compression rings where installed with the proper side up so that oil is not scraped into the chamber.

I forget what brand ring it was, but there was a batch of compression rings made maybe 10 to 15 years ago that had the dot marking that signifies the top put on the bottom of the ring!
Anyone remember this issue and the brand?

My money is still on something going on with the valve seals or lack there of due to as you have posted that it does not smoke right away.
