Doing the cable tie trick just compresses the air and forces it into the fluid, but, if left, it will slowly bubble out again.
That's fine if it's only a tiny amount of air, but, because of the layout of pipes on the ABS system, I think the air had collected in the "loop" above the front wheel and you can't necessarily bleed enough fluid out to get it before you have to shut the bleed valve again.
That's why I hung the calipers up, so the air would flow up to the caliper and then I could get it out of the bleed valve without it just bubbling back up to the top of the loop.
