Mattsz:
The PJ-1 Black Label chain lube does the same thing and my experience with it has been the same as yours.

I figure the black crud is the lube + dirt and figure that's just the way life is with an old non-O-ring chain.
The only time I start to get concerned is when the chain isn't throwing off a little crud.

I'd like to see a photo of how someone sits on the bike, adjusting the chain, while keeping the wheel aligned-ought to be pretty entertaining.
  I opted for the 2" chain slack on lower run, while bike is on the centerstand-much easier for us folks with normal length arms.

Yoga originated in India for just this very reason ;)

I don't know Bulletman. That sounds like foreplay, & doesn't bode well for the rest of the job.
