I would totally suspect something with the engine... Keep in mind, with the manual, you rev the engine to 1200rpm or so and gradually let the clutch out, keeping the motor in its power band. With the automatic, you are asking the engine to start working straight from an 800rpm idle.

Maybe turn the idle up just a hair, see if starting from slightly higher helps (temporary measure, it'd be hell on your mileage)

We won't ask the reasoning for the swap :)
