One thing I've noticed is that after a cycle, if you lift the filter the
water in the machine's sump is really mucky; is that normal or should it
be basically clean 'rinse' water down there?

Just a guess, but I wonder if it's draining properly?
Just thinking that maybe it's draining just quickly enough not to stop
the machine from working, but not quickly enough to remove all the dirt
- so it's still there for the next wash...
