My '01 wagon (227k km) has had this symptom for a couple years. Recently it has started running roughly and blowing white smoke when started in the morning - Cylinder #4 shows signs of coolant in the cylinder indicating bad head gasket.
Releasing the pressure in the coolant system when the car is turned off prevents the rough running and smoking on restart and allows me to keep driving the car until I receive the parts to do the head gasket replacement. (UPS cleverly shipped them from eeuroparts to Minneapolis to Winnipeg to Saskatoon and who knows where they are now?).
So you may be seeing an early indication of head gasket failure. What year/mileage is your car? 99-01 models had trouble with bad torque on head bolts allowing head gasket leakage.
