So, is the overheat condition normal as well, though?

You're welcome

I'd bet that the overheat condition will disappear now that the required coolant has descended out of the reservoir into the cooling system. It should be topped off cold, then re-driven. If the problem persists, it should be scrutinized further, but odds are it will be OK now that it's done 'burping' the air out.

One would think this would have been done at the factory or in PDI, and it probably was looked at at that time...but I know these cars are finicky in this regard, so I am not shocked it showed up with some air still in the system.
