When lifting the lever all the way to the top without portafilter in place, should water come immediately out of the group?

Short answer yes.
Water will also leak with portafilter in if held tight up for an extended period of time, where the lever handle connects.

Thank you for answering my question! It was not until after I posted that I noticed the huge Caravel thread. Started reading that one and once I saw how the thing was put together I removed the piston and by its design could see that indeed water would pass through when lifting the handle.
