I thought the same as you, Malcom.

No joke ... Same on both 1.9s I have ... one with a
new cap.  The "Flow" is actually more of a dribble but
does fool one trying to top off the radiator.  The
level at the radiator slowly recedes and if pursued
long enough .... inspection of the overflow tank shows
that it is then overfilled and maybe overflowing.
