This leads me to believe that it has something to do with the mystical FMS...

We are working off an IterativeRobot design in C++. We don't use the camera.
Just as a data point, 1519 also uses the IterativeRobot in C++ and we do not have the 1-2 second delay problem.

Your description does sound like there is something in your init code which is causing the delay of 1 to 2 seconds. Have you tried running your driver station in the simulated match mode to see if you have the delay in that circumstance? I would suggest using the Driver Station to match the actual sequence that is encountered on the field. (Set the DS to Autonomous Disabled, then power up the robot. Wait for the connection to the robot, then enable the robot.)
