I suspect that my 'factory' extension doesn't do that, and the 'blocking' when locked actually occurs in the original spot.

You may be right Guy. The original T56 had the blocking part of the bleed nipple down in the body of the slave cylinder and the extension just a tube to let the air bubbles out. The problem with them used to be that it was very difficult to put any kind of bleeding tube arrangement over the end of the fitting. They may have addressed that in yours with the nipple on the end.
Mine is a tube sealed against the slave cylinder with a copper washer and the bleed nipple seal is on the end.
Perhaps you could check yours by seeing how far you can poke a wire in the end. The wire should go in a dair way if the seal is at the bottom and not far if that's the bleed nipple on the end or just a barb to attach a hose
