Some nice flight pictures thanks to Dave Lindbergh.
The last three images showed something about this flight I had not previously known:
The motor "backup ejection" actually separated the rocket as it approached apogee. The electronic apogee ejection charge was fired by the Raven just after separation, as can be clearly seen in the last picture.
As the whole flight was low (709ft) and slow (109mph), and the two ejection events were within a second of each other, recovery still executed cleanly.
