Just fitted 12mm nut on my shaft adding the suggested loctite.  tightened to the 70nm which seemed a bit too quick and easy to reach so gave it an extra yank.  I was expecting the nut face to end up flush with the shaft end but instead it sits proud of the shaft end. Does this sound right?

Depends how much it stands proud. The 12mm nut is usually just proud of the shaft by between half to one millimetre. i.e. about the depth of the chamfer on the nut.
Incidentally when Yamaha introduced us to the 12mm nut they also increased the torque to 90 Nm.
