By any chance, did you allow the resevoir(s) to run low while bleeding, which would have introduced more air into the system?

I've also seen problems with replacement MC's, where the piston depth is slightly different and therefore the rod coming out of the booster has to be re-adjusted. If the rod is pushing much against the piston when you bolted the MC to the booster, it may not be allowing the piston to retract far enough to get an adequate charge of fluid in front of it. Or, in a more sever case, it may be pushing the piston far enough forward that when your wife buried the pedal to the floor, it damaged the seal on the front piston.
