1) Do you have machine settings set to "ultimaker 2" or to "gcodes". If you have it set to UM2 then I believe the printer does it's own purge before running the gcodes. So perhaps that is the issue.
2) If you are truly speaking about gcodes in the gcode file then it's probably similar to temperature. If cura sees that you are using one of the temperature variables in your start gcodes then it will not bother adding it's own temperature codes. I'm guessing it's the same deal with the purge amount. I'm guessing if you use the purge amount variable (not sure what the variable is called) then I'm guessing cura will skip adding it's own purge code.
Please clarify which machine setting you are using and I'll elaborate some more.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
