Is it normal practice to install the intermediate CA along with the server certificate on the server?
Its normal practice to install the full chain.. But if the CA is public trusted then you don't - the server will hand out the intermediate CA to the client, who since he trusts that signing CA of that intermediate will trust it.
OK, so that is clearly what I have been missing. I need to find out how to install the chain in TrueNAS. There appears to be a Certificate Authority Section which is similar to the one in pfSense. Maybe if I just import them there things might work.

There is nothing wrong with the CA manager in pfsense.

I was expecting to see the entire chain of trust when displaying the certificate.
You did - see the cert info I show for the cert in my browser - shows the full chain.
Yes, I saw that.... it's how that chain got generated that I didn't understand. IIUC the server is assembling the trust bundle on demand from the component parts, not from a prebuilt certificate bundle.
