Five minutes later, still no engines. So I futz around with the helm control ordering full reverse and the like and finally the engines kick in. I am not damanged and according to the crew managment screen, the engine room is fully manned. Is this a bug or does it have to do with some feature of the crew management feature that I don't understand?

I think it is a stock SH3 bug, have had this happen a few times with a fully rested and qualified engine room crew too. Just a matter of clicking different engine room settings and eventually they kick in. Don't wait 5 minutes though, you should hear the engines quickly after the order.

A known bug. Order reverse then forward and the engines should respond.
