Dave,

Looks like you've covered the bases quite well.  As for the vent
lines, here's a pic of my one and only vent line, running from the top
front of the block to the header tank.  When I fill the system, I remove
the line from the fitting on the block and pour till coolant comes out
of it.  I re-install the line and keep filling till the header tank is
full.  I also have a bleed valve between the 2 rads which I crack during
filling.   As for your problem, maybe plumbing isn't the issue after-all.
Perhaps the inner O ring slipped during engine assembly and was pinched.
Bringing the engine to temperature and pressure finally did it in.  Only
tearing the engine down will tell you for sure.

LOL,  That was a concern of mine, but I made sure all was correct.  I
don't think anyone is really running backward.  Thanks,
