Nope, though thats a neat product. Here's the link:

it sounds like you may have the return port on the master cylinder blocked.  If you adjust the pin that actuates the piston to a certain point, it will block the port and not allow any fluid in or out of the reservoir...

I'm wondering why it is necessary to bleed the system when replacing a lever? Is the lever intimately connected to the plumbing of the rear brake M/C?
if it 'worked' before, what was adjusted/changed when the new lever was installed?

I don't think it is connected like that - intimately to the plumbing, as you said. I just undid the stock connection and lever of my rear brake and moved everything to a set of rearsets. The plunger is activated by a small linkage (which you replace when using some rearsets).
