On the one time I had ink come out of the maze, I had overfilled and had the same bubbling out of the outlet as you describe.
I think too that it is important to wait a few minutes for the ink to soak into the sponge before topping up the reservoir. If it takes an extra five minutes who cares, just relax and enjoy it!
Best plan is to have a spare set of carts, change them all when one cart is low, and then at your leisure you can refill the originals ready for the next swap.
When filling I do them in a production line. Once the first cart has had the initial fill I rest it and move on to the next. By the time I have completed the last one I don't have to wait too long to top up the first.
Play safe and only fill 75% if that seems right to you, after all it doesn't take long to refill again so no need to squeeze in the last drop.
I actually enjoy refilling, so I never fill the tank completely
