the valve opens when it needs to. for me, it's always open at the end of a good drive.
check the coolant cap. they have been updated a few times (i think it's on revision #4 or #5 currently) because they let coolant out. other common areas are the coolant tank cracked (mine was) or the water pump weeping as it was failing (mine was). look around the hoses under the car near the coolant tank side tire for signs of coolant - mine was a crusty, dried crust...
and i know you said you never touched the cap prior to refilling, but it doesn't mean the PO didn't put it on wrong. they are very easy to put on crooked (i did) and lose coolant (i did) as a result. at 1500 miles a year, it's possible the car wasn't drive to the point that would cause a loose cap to cause dumping yet.
