I would use a key reader to verify your OE fobs are working and to read the vehicles PIN. I still think it's likely something in the aftermarket unit because they tend to cause issues like this when they start to fail. However, you really need a scan tool to see what the receiver in the vehicle is seeing and I would look up how that remote start was connected and how they bypassed the OE SKIM module to allow it to work.
As for it preventing it from starting, at the moment it sounds like the OE fob isn't controlling anything but the door locks. It isn't reading the fobs security at all. A quick test would be to put the OE fobs in a metal box or RF shield bag and see what the vehicle does. Do you have more than one OE fob? At the moment I'm wondering if they didn't remove the RFID from the fob and installed it where the reader in the push button can read it to allow the remote start to work.
