Graham,
Are you sure the water gets sucked back in when it cools? I  can see how the
water gets pushed up into the expansion tank when it  expands but the
pressure cap will be closed when the water cools thus  stopping the water

If my understanding of physics is correct, it is not the water that expands  
but air in the system.  It contracts on cooling, sucking the water  back.
