It does the same while bleeding the system, fluid can spritz out and ruin your paint, always wise to cover the tank with a cloth...

Well, I think I managed bleeding the system.  Filled the system with fluit, got the MC working and bled until no more air came out, either from the bleed nipple or from the return hole inside the MC reservoir.  Not sure exactly how it's supposed to feel, or what the "correct" lever travel should be, as the brakes were frozen when I got the bike.  But the lever works, it stops the wheel spinning and allows it to spin again when I release the lever.  The brake light switch works.

Anyone care to comment on lever travel?  How far before the brake light comes on?  How far from the grip does the lever really harden up?  I'm sure there must be variations from bike to bike, but nice to have an idea.

I've got the lever pulled back to within about 1/2 inch of the grip and tied overnight, just in case it helps draw more air out...
