That's funny, I got exactly the opposite result.
My kid got a lift put into one of the bays of his garage a couple weeks ago and invited me to use it whenever he wasn't. So, pretty much right off the bat I took him up on it (since my brakes/clutch haven't been flushed in forever).
I used the Motive pressure bleeder (works wonderfully), and as I opened the first valve I got lots of air. "Ok, not that abnormal I guess, it'll stop soon" I thought. A minute later the string of air bubbles continued. My kid tells me to open it wider, that the brake lines in his car pass air bubbles unless he ups the flow. So, I took it from 1/4 turn open to 1/2 turn. Don't exactly understand it, but the bubbles disappeared pretty much immediately.
