Yes, I can see one step in your process that could have thrown off the timing:

With all this lined up, I locked and removed the IP pulley and belt, pulled the old seal out, put the new one in, replaced the pulley and belt and tried to start it.

There at the end, after replacing the pulley and belt, did you verify TDC and the notch on the IP pulley all lined up as before? Usually when timed correctly, at engine TDC the IP shaft doesn't like to stay in that position due to the heavy internal spring tension on the ramps-- it wants to jump forward or back to a "resting" spot. So you would have really had to fight it to be able to get the the belt back on.
Theoretically your method otherwise should work, as the IP pulley is keyed to the IP shaft.
