What confuses me is that I thought pickling lime was not as pure a kalk product as, say, pure kalk. So I would have guess the Alk coming off pickling lime to be not as high. ... Who'dda thunk.

I guess the real test now is do the same thing but with kalk instead of pickling lime and see what the resulting alk is...

Different buffer product (Seachem Reef Buffer) but to give an idea how little needed to change alk: 1tsp for 40g will raise pH by 0.1 and alk by 0.5meg/l.
Also check here http://reef.diesyst.com/ it doesn't have pickling lime but limewater solution (saturated).
