Turns out it may well be user error - I put everything together then realised I'd missed off the rubber cap that goes over the end of the hose. I then moaned for a bit, and re-did it. By which time it was fairly late and I was tired, so I did a bad job of getting the olive to seal over the barb, which RR think is the cause of the lever feel/piston issue. They're bleeding the brake now having replaced the poorly done barb and olive with a better example of both.
