And it seems the "problem" is that the satellite is deliberately launched to the standard GTO trajectory, then apparently expected to make the 30+ degree inclination plane change to then target IGSO! I've never heard of something like that for a GSO sat!

No, as 55 degrees inclination orbits are also the norm for the BDS Medium Earth Orbit satellites 10000 km below, of which 16 were launched last year alone.

I can however accept that with geostationary satellites also in the mix, the manufacturer simply takes the GEO satellite design down to the launch trajectory, the only exception being that in this case the satellite moves to increase its inclination. Strange but still make sense.
