Try this:   Add a semi-large load to that inverter and then see if the 
ignitor works in addition to that load.  A lot of times, a SineWave
inverter will clean up its waveform some when loaded due to 
inductances...  Yes, even inverters designed by X Trace Engineering
and/or Xandroid engineers.

BTW, I checked that company's forum and this same basic question showed 
up, except it was a generator that had problems.  They couldn't
answer it either, except to say that separating (or connecting 
together?) the Neutral and Ground wires might fix it for some reason.  
Must be
something I'm missing there, but I've seen stranger things I suppose.
