Well, i stressed the spokes & did a bit of leaning on the rims, though there wasn't much tweaking needed after doing so.
Think I'll run it as is (just re-tensioned & trued up the wheel) for a week or so & keep my eye on the spoke tension. Also, I'll take an 11g spoke key with me. If it all stays true I'll try some this thread-lock & keep fingers crossed

The idea of spoke prep or boiled linseed oil is that it's a lubricant during the build, then locks everything in place some time later. You'll get many opinions about whether that's a good thing or not.
Did you prestress the wheel? It sounds like spoke windup to me (with a bit of under-tensioning thrown in), though odd it should happen just to the drive-side on a equally tensioned wheel.
