I don't think your standards are too high, sadly... it should all too easy to lock the rear.
Pulled caliper, held at highest point and bled again after vigorous shaking of bike tail end while pumping lever in similar manner. (I hope my Momma doesn't read that.)

While caliper was off I took some Emory cloth to both sides of the disc. I tried this on the old pads but decided the small amount of pitting that covered a large amount of the face of each pad could be causing me issues so I chucked those and installed the new ones.
