Giving that there are ghosts who are imbued with the light of the traveller, and they repeatedly use this light to bring us back to life, why would you assume that the pulse from the Traveller is constrained by any relativistic limits?

Because we can see it in the cutscene at the end of the game. This necessarily implies sub-luminal speeds. Otherwise, the light it emits would be blue shifted out of our visual range. This would happen at 0.866c actually, assuming the object emits visible light.
