Maybe the hot recirc line is radiating heat to the cold water lines, or at the very least, there is a lot of volume of water in those long lines that come up to room temperature over night. The first few minutes of your shower have room temperature water coming in the cold side, and cool off as your shower goes on.
Try running your cold tap in the same bathroom for a bit before your next shower, filling the line with cold water. Or turn your shower valve to straight cold for a minute or two first. See if that affects your shower at all.
So, I tried turning on on the cold water for the first minute and then proceeded to have my shower as per normal. I noticed that I had to turn the handle Further towards the hot side than usual to begin with, and then the temperature seemed to be more constant overall although I still had to adjust a couple of times throughout the shower, but the movements were less than normal.

Hopefully that makes sense.
