Pretty weird, maybe the air was getting through the tape at the valve, and exiting most noticeably at the drainage hole, but the valve has sealed up since

That would make sense. I didn’t remove/clean the valve properly so perhaps it’s fouled with some prior sealant and has now settled into a happier place with the addition of a bit of time and pressure.
Still a bit nonplussed that the sidewall is leaking on the rear tyre. Tempted to add sealant as I’m sure it will fix it but don’t want to void any option of return if it’s a defect

It lost pressure relatively rapidly via the small hole which looks like a wear indicator. Possibly it allows for the release of any water than enters via the spoke holes on the internal side of the rim? Anyway, once it had lost pressure entirely I reinflated it, still no sealant, and it now seems to be holding pressure. This tubeless stuff is still witchcraft to me.
