RTF, I had never run the engine with the radiator cap off until I replaced the FW pump last year and carried out the air purge procedure. That being said, I don't remember if I saw that spray or not, at that time.
Just to add to this, I just ran the engine again. It immediately started spraying, but I had a glass jar handy which I placed over top of the opening so I could both contain the spray and watch if it stopped. It did indeed stop after about two or three minutes.
