The 2mf cap is not in the circuit during leakage testing, so I don't think that it is the cause of of the closed eye problem.
Just a wag, but is the switch on the power factor pot working ok? might try some De-Ox on it. If the switch is closing ok are the 3 resistors connected to it ok and connected correctly? If the 1k was swapped with the 470k, the switch would have little effect on the current supplied to charge the cap in leakage mode.
I think that the statement in the manual is just a cya statment, since in some cases a large electrolytic could draw enough current to keep the eye closed (5 to 10 ma) and still function fine... really depends on the circuit.
