My experience tells me the pad clearance changes after adjustment.
What I end up doing is to adjust according to the article published
from isaluti. Then have some one to pump the brake a few times, re-adjust,
pump a few times , until the clearance stop changing, then complete the
lock up and put the caps back, check again before tighten the hand brake.

And yes even after replaced rear calipers, the same procedure was needed
to ensure the pads don't change clearance after adjustment.

I suspect slow leak of MC so all pressure is lost over night.
Most of verdes behave like you said after replacing the accumulator.
As for the tiny little air in the accumulator, i doubt there's anyway
to get it out. The accumulator has a internal membran that was pre-pressurised
so my guess is that the membran was pushed all the way out when you get
the accumulator on hand. The air in the system would be minimal.

happy braking
