I feel that I owe an update on the situation.
In short, the engine is now running perfectly fine again.
As my research indicated that it should be pretty much impossible to mount this pump out of time enough that it will not start, I removed the pump from the engine, again.
I then finally managed to get in contact with someone with knowledge and equipment to test the pump, and the tests showed that the pump was only delivering about 30% of the fuel that it was supposed to. While assembling the pump, I had apparently mounted one of the plunger rollers upside-down, causing the issue. Once the pump was assembled correctly, the fuel-output was measured to be within spec.
When the pump was mounted to the engine, timing marks aligned, and the injector lines cracked open, a much larger amount of fuel was sprayed out of the injector lines, and when the injector lines was tightened up again, it started after the 2nd attempt.
Thank you for your assistance.
