"Several people have said the oil is to be expected on a new rebuild. I 
hope they are right."

Did they explain why?  Oil and cooling systems are entirely 
independent--with the (theoretical)
exception of oil coolers, I guess--and I can't think of a reason why 
you'd have oil in the coolant
(unless there was some residual machining oil in the coolant passages, 
maybe).  I didn't have any
oil in the water after my last rebuild, but we didn't bore the cylinders.
