I had the top end off my comet for work when I bought it, I was confident in bore condition and only had light hone and had guides replaced. On rebuild I noticed intermittent smoking particularly stopped at lights.
Considered it may be oil pooling and so bought the metering wires ( although most seem to suggest these are not necessary with modern oils). Have not got around to fitting them although following several high speed 25mile + motorway runs (boring) the condition appears to have alleviated.
Not a big believer that there is an easy fix and these things remedy themselves but you may be fortunate.
My experience is :Yes, I would think that glazing could possibly be a problem. With all bikes following rebore or hone wash out with soap and water and only use the most mininimal of assembly lube, when assembled give it a good thrash and let it go through a couple of heat cycles allowing motor to cool right down.
Fingers crossed, thanks for motivation, I've yet to venture out on bike this year.
