Achieved good intonation although action was still a little high, which can be addressed after it settles in.
Placing the Popsicle stick under the bridge and then re-adjusting the bridge to get proper intonation, the buzzing was gone and the strings sounded fine
Intonation wise, things are not great but what you'd expect for a $90, made-in-China instrument that's had no professional set up.

This appeared to be the result of having the action of the strings too low, so I turned to an extremely high-tech solution: I shimmed the bridge with a Popsicle stick (suitably cleaned first, of course!)
Just place the bridge so that the twelfth fret is halfway between the bridge and the nut, and then adjust the bridge in tiny steps until fretting the G and A strings at the 12th fret shows double the frequency of an open string
The bridge was easy to place, but the grooves in the bridge are too shallow and the strings slip out when I try to play.
One other reviewer recommended a shorter bridge and that's not a bad idea, just one that I haven't tried.
