I suspect that the leak is from the block to head coolant passage between #1 and #2 cylinders or #2 and #3. With the heads torqued to 95 ft-lbs, I can't imagine how this could be, especially with essentially no pressure in the system. The block and head preparation/porting was done by KCR, so I don't suspect overaggressive porting. Visual inspection prior to assembly didn't reveal anything obvious.

I guess I'll try retorquing the heads although i'm not optimistic...
