it actually creates the resources, but fails on the initial run and then succeeds if i re-run pulumi up right away

I'm a Pulumi newby so sorry I can't help. This kind of error in Terraform can usually be solved by adding a `depends_on` block so the resource isn't created until the resources it needs are finished creating. I don't know how this is done in Pulumi. I have found the chat on their website a way to get technical assistance if no one here is able to.
