If there is no one in the queue, the caller will go directly into the
queue and the receptionist phone will ring. This looks fine but while
the call is waiting for the receptionist to pick it up, the caller will
actually hear Music on Hold instead of just ring ring ring. This is
undesirable.

exten = 7100,n,Wait(2)
exten = 7100,n,HangUp()
Queue(console,r)
would do what you want, but so you would need to have two entry points to queue.

So, the issue is MOH is good for the 2nd and subsequent callers but not
for the first caller who should just hear ring ring ring until the
receptionist picks up the call.
Any thoughts?

How about (pseudoish code here)
exten = 7100,1,Dial(${consolePhone},,${dialFlags})
exten = 7100,n,GotoIf($[${DIALSTATUS}=BUSY]?queueHell)
exten = 7100,n,Hangup()
exten = 7100,n(queueHell),Answer()
; Do queue count message playback here ...
; Actually, just playback the message as the console *is* busy at this
point
exten = 7100,n,Queue(console)
You'll need to make sure the console phone has call-waiting disabled, else
the phone itself will queue calls... (depending on the phone type!)
