By "the metonymy of the Hebrew usage of Spirit" (I guess to refer to the person 
him/herself and not to the person's spirit?), are you saying that the OT references 
to God's Spirit were really references to God Himself, and that this fact of Hebrew 
usage explains/supports the use of APO here in the LXX translation of Joel 3? 
I.e., it means "I will pour out from Myself"?
