I've always only packed the bearing and coated the race. By tightening down on, the retainer will force some excess out as the bearings are seated and compressed. As far as filling the cap before putting it on, I don't see where it would hurt anything, so if it makes someone feel better, do it to it. To me, extra grease is undo extra mess to clean, and it's just like yellow mustard - get one tiny spot on you, and next thing you know, you're somehow coated from head to toe, in places you never touched either.
