So why is there a different amount of oil in there when warm? (expansion yadda yadda, but that's negligble on the sort of dT involved in this...)

Seeing oil in the glass is the only clue you get as to whether there's oil in the motor or not, what are you going to do on a rebuild... run it for 5 minutes only to discover that actually there was nothing in sump?
