It did settle, actually within a couple hours, into two perfectly discernible layers, fortunately with the power steering fluid on top. Sucked out the top layer again this morning, put new brake fluid in. Dropping off to the dealer today for a flush next week. Thanks again for your help.

Ask your dealer if they vacuum bleed/fill the brake system. If they do then they will most likely completely drain and flush the system, if they don't they will probably just fill and bleed the system which isn't what you want.
