Right answer. There is indeed an internal separator in the reservoir. If the fluid runs low while you're pumping out the rear brake, the reservoir will LOOK full, but it isn't. After a few strokes, you'll be pumping air. When I'm bleeding rear brakes I keep the reservoir filled to the brim, then suction out any excess after I'm done.
