You know? You're right. Used to have a house that had a tank without a bladder, 60 gallons. Used to get water logged over time simply by having the pump run as a faucet would be on because of the churning of the water into the air pocket as the water was being replentished. Those air bubbles would come out of the faucets a little at a time, and over time the tank would get water logged. It just happens over time, nothing one can do about it except go to a bladdered tank. But as you said, shut the water off, empty the tank, and that alone will create a substancial air pocket when its refilled. I used to then air up the tank to 60 lbs. That way used to take the water level below the valve, give good pressure, and not run the pump constantly. It was just a fact of life. Used to have to do it a few times per year, especially during sprinkler season. No big deal.
