Sometimes air can leak in through the threads even if you have a hose submerged in fluid. I've had that happen while bleading brakes by myself.

Well, the brake line goes to a tee at the differential and then to each rear wheel cylinder -- in fact, the tee is mounted to the right of center, so the left rear line is longer by a few inches. I wouldn't think that should make any difference, though..... the fluid doesn't know if it's making a right turn or a left turn at the tee fitting.
Yes, my wife holds steady pressure on the pedal while I open, then close the bleeder.
