You may have some leak only downstream the bleeder, from which you vacuum machine is sucking those bubbles.

If the pressure does not show bubbles and the brake is still weak, you may have some air trapped inside the system (that is not pulled by the vacuum machine).

Do as the gentlemen above have suggested.
Think of air inside like balloons trapped inside a house but willing to fly high if nothing stops them.

If you blew a seal, you should had seen abundant fluid leaking out from the caliper.
You repair should be OK.
