One guy in our group last night played Inverary, Scotland on one of his
minions, and had a question about the blood used to increase the minion's
bleed. He asserted that the blood that got moved to the location from the
minion was still part of the minion's blood, and could still be used to
heal minion damage, and so forth. I argued that once the blood is on the
location, it is no longer part of the minion, who can then hunt (or
whatever) and fill back up. He countered with the argument that it was
out-of-control for a card to allow a minion to simply pay blood to gain
increased permanent bleed if that minion could just gain the blood back
by conventional means. I had to agree that it sounds a bit out-of-control,
but I can still see no way to interpret the card text to allow blood to
"flow freely" between a minion and Inverary.
We both seek a net.consensus on this. Thanks in advance!

I don't have the card, so I don't know the exact card text, but
it seems the blood should go on the master, and be replacable.
Unless of course the card says otherwise. There are other cards
that allow increased permanant bleed without a permamant
disadvantage, (Laptop, Mr. Winthrop or J.S. Simmons (I don't
remember which is which) I know the laptop requires a pool, but
that can be replaced too) actually I can't think of any card
which puts a permanant disadvantage on a vampire to gain a
bonus. This is all, of course, just my interpretations, and is
therefore questionable especially because I haven't seen the
card in question.
Anyway I hope this was helpful, and maybe someone else can
provide a more solid opinion.

There's an even more obvious problem with Invernay. It says the vampire
with it may move 1 blood to it, as a minion phase action.
That means it takes an action, right?
Apparantly an undirected, 0-stealth action?
Is this card only for very strange bruise and bleed decks?

Yes, and yes.

It's for decks that rely on bleed permanents such as Laptops, yes.
Bigger effect, but takes more time and energy to build up.
