While it ran it had a hunting idle below normal--between maybe 1200 and 1700, but I remember seeing a moment of almost stable ~1400 RPMs maybe once maybe twice just before I realized the mistake and turned it off. THOUGHTS?

In addition to what Matt says, I think you might have been lucky it was just for 20 seconds. There will still be some oil left on the walls or in cracks, you are still a 'long' time away of burning it all. So it is not that the engine was completely dry.
