Remember also that glass does have a fair amount of electrical hysteresis; charges migrate slowly through it. You may want to wait a few minutes and do a second discharge after the first to clear up any remaining charge.
I'm pretty sure that's dielectric absorption at work there, not quite the same thing.
Sorry, you're right, I had a brain fart and conflated it with magnetic hysteresis, which is of course a completely different thing in a different application. - Dave
