As long as I've played I should know this, but I never had played an army before where it was an issue. Can troops deploy as embarked in a vehicle that is taken as a heavy support choice ( i.e. a Falcon)? Assuming that they can start embarked, can they no longer start embarked if the heavy support vehicle enters play some other time than in deployment ( i.e. from reserves in the second or subsequent turns)?

If the tank is deployed onto the table already when it comes time to deploy a unit which could legally be carried by it, you can deploy them into it. Page 81.

If both are in Reserve for some reason, you must roll for them separately as required by the rules for two units which are not part of the same Force Org slot, but you can have the unit enter the table embarked on the transport IF they both happen to arrive on the same turn. Page 4 of the main rulebook FAQ.

If the infantry unit starts on the table and the transport starts off (Fire Dragons and Falcon in an Escalation mission), you're out of luck.

To be honest I think that's another rule thats broken
"Are you guys coming"
Nah we'll wait till later"
Youre serious I come in and have to walk all the way

Yes. Of course.
