Being D size, and high-capacity, the bulb could be seeing as much as eight volts on initial power-on.
I recommend either:
a) switching to the 3853H, or using a 1274 in a bi-pin socket. These will give similar output.
b) sticking with the 3854H, but wiring a NTC into the circuit somewhere. Or even going with a soft-start regulator, but that's a comparatively expensive option.
