I have a leak
Started the bleed procedure again. I just did the first part to warm up the car. I discovered that my thermostat is working (radiator lines in the wheel wells were hot). I was still getting fluid dumping so I shut the car off. I could hear the coolant boiling. I did see vapor coming from the area of the filler cap and the bleed valve. I suppose it could be from the bleed valve, but I think I'm going to change the cap anyway. I don't see any evidence of a leak anywhere on or around the tank (except the vapor up top). I'm hoping that's the problem.
I called my local dealer, and they've got the .04 cap. My wife's gonna pick it up at lunch, so I'll let you know how it goes when she gets home. <finger's crossed>
