FWIW, I don't ever remember prefilling a torque converter.

I put everything together, dump a bunch of fluid into the 
fill-tube/tranny pan, and light a fire in the cylinders.

How is an "empty" converter any different than the draining-back 
converter/727 in my Travelall?  You put it in Neutral, wait a moment, 
then go, once it's pumped enough fluid into things to make it go. ;) 
Throw it right into D, and it doesn't move for a moment while it pumps 
fluid about.
