Yeah, first gear isn't always syncroed. That could be the reason for the lockout, kind of like reverse. Even if it has a syncro for first it's usually spaced out from second for starting. Meaning downshifting is worthless because the whole vehicle will jerk around crazily.

Congratulations on the new car.
