Using a level, I find that the door-sill on my fastback is perfectly level. Does that sound right?

Use your level and compare it with the tunnel. If both are the same, and it should be level.

Yes, level is the stock attitude, assuming the gas tank is full and the frunk is about half full of crap.

Yup, I think it's called out in the Bentley manual that way. Level ground, and level tunnel. They call it out that way to make sure ALL suspension adjustments are done for a starting point.
Same applies with KTPhil's comment about the fuel level. Not sure about the half frunk full of crap, but I think they also add 150 pounds on the drivers side floor to simulate a driver.
