Took a while to get back, sorry. I never do pre-roll MIDI recordings and not much with audio either...but fwiw, it seems pre-roll monitoring doesn't work with MIDI in all cases.
It seems that monitoring starts from the point where the edit cursor is. So when you have the edit cursor at the beginning of the area you are going to record, pre-roll does move the playback start, but you won't hear your instrument until play cursor passes the edit cursor. There's an old bug report about it, but I haven't seen it reported fixed. Maybe somebody else knows about that?

With audio, pre-roll monitoring works regardless of where the edit cursor is. So if and when that's true, you'd have to use other means to do the pre-roll with MIDI. Personally I just drop the cursor somewhere before the punch-in area and hit record.
You could also unlink loop points from the time selection and make the loop area bigger than the recording area (time selection). This way you will get time to prepare for each take separately while the loop is going. Kenny Gioia has a video about it, thanks to mykrobinson for the tip.
