My 996 never smokes on cold start, except if I do what you mentioned above. It’s a fuel dump issue due to a rich mixture.

My 88 Carrera used to smoke sometimes on cold start. I believe that was oil-related.

Mine smoked only once in 7kmiles and it was exactly in this scenario with the added no start for 3 weeks after that few feet on/off.
