Hi David... IMO, as the start of the digit ionization is what is unreliable we would have a train of pulses of known duration but with random separation (period, frequency, etc.). This is unless I got all wrong and only the first start of the discharge is the unreliable one.
My experience is that it is only the first pulse that has trouble starting. After you get the tube to light, there are enough ions rattling around in side it that subsequent PWM pulses work just fine.
But this may not be the case for very short PWM pulses, as the oscilloscope reveals a millisecond or two of variation in the voltage -> ionization delay in a multiplexed tube.
