That's pretty much what I do. If I've got clean fluid that's been flushed well, I don't worry about pushing much dirt back into the ABS modulator.

I like to do a flush and brake pads at the same time. Flush the system. Then open the bleeder when I retract the caliper. THen once it's all back together, bleed it the rest of the way. Voila--takes only a few minutes and the system is guaranteed clean.

Personally, if I'm only doing brake pads (not flushing), I usually just open the bleeder, but I don't clamp the brake lines.
