Thank you for your thoughts. I think you explain them very well!
I see what you mean about that self-consciousness in writing; It's like a book saying, "Here I am, a novel. You can tell, by the way I start!
"Never a good sign," hmm, yes, but perhaps a comforting sign to agents; a novel that starts in recogniseable novel stylee, something you know you can sell to a publisher.
