Sounds like they aren't familiar at all with having remote employees.
The time of arrival, the dress code and a tonne of other little things tell me they have absolutely no clue about remote employees. They seem to be very tuned to chatting over cube walls or sending brief instant messages and not at all to dialing telephones, writing detailed emails.
I'd prefer to think of the timing issue as forgetting to inform me that I should arrive closer to 10 AM instead of 9. The alternative is that, despite knowing I was coming, they just didn't think it a significant breach of etiquette to not be present for the arrival of a guest.
