Thanks for the tips!
It sounds like the BMW diagnostic tool opens the circuits in the ABS control module to allow it to be bled properly. I suspect the nearest one is in South Africa. That's quite a ways to ride (through wild animal country!) from Dar es Salaam without a proper front brake.
I will try activating the front ABS on a slippery surface and then bleeding again. Hopefully that helps. If not I'll try raising the master cylinder as well as tying it off under pressure. These seem to make the most sense to me.
Thanks for everyone's help!
