    After some more testing I have realized that the field the formula is looking to does not get populated until the record is saved (thus the "0" value).  This in turn causes the form rule save feature to copy the wrong value.  Thus, the pipeline kicks off and creates a new record but uses the wrong value.  So I changed the formula to pull the needed information from a different field and it all appears to be working as expected.

One other thought, I've run into this working with chained pipelines, but with the all the pipeline based saving going on, etc. in your example, you might want to think about using the "Pause" in the "Clock" channel.  It might fit for this example. 

I've used it a couple of times to buy the system record states time to "catch up" before the pipeline continued .. even a couple of seconds can make a big difference.
