I'm asking the same question posed by Randy (Rstarkie) below, and not answered so far.

Unless you were operating the brake pedal with bleeder(s) open, there shouldn't have been be any air drawn in, so no need to bleed. Worst case, a quick pedal bleed of bothrear calipers should push any air out, which would not have gone very far upstream, IMO.
