I think I've seen it mentioned that the DRL LEDs are pretty picky about voltage. When the alternator output drops (like when you lug the engine in first), the voltage also drops below ~14VDC and the lights go out.

The "boomerang" LEDs have a proper LED driver, so they don't get affected like that.
