Bleed it again and again and again... I'd bet you have air trapped up at the master cylinder banjo. I'm also pretty sure the clutch fluid going black is a known Ducati problem as opposed to a simply the push rod spinning. My fluid used to go black with the standard cylinder and it still goes black with an Evoluzione slave cylinder on there (and that has an extra bearing inside it to stop the pushrod spinning if the release bearing fails)....
