I really thought (though I am not sure) that the effect I was seeing has more to do with the compressor and not the TXV. The effect was that when I shut off vacuum to the system (with a bubble tight ball valve) that was evacuated from just the lo side port , the vacuum level in the system immediately drops slowly in a tight system with no leaks.
