Brett:  I'll say that if your diagnosis of all four calipers locking up is
true,
then as I understand the MC: to be the "piston" which applies fluid pressure
to
the brakes from the application of the brake pedal, is not retracting
(therefore sticking) and keeping constant pressure applied to (all 4) of the
brakes.

Hence your experiment results of the car creaking backwards as time goes by
from
the gradual lowering of fluid pressure at all four calipers.

The real question to ask the pros would be does the bomb (brake pressure
stored)
have any role in your test example?
That's beyond me.
HTH - Scott in BOSTON  MC= Master Cylinder in this example, not MC of the
10v variety.

The question which I really need answered is this- if the system
sucked air, would that cause the symptoms I've got, or do I have a MC
failure?  I would think air in the MC and/or system would cause a
super-soft pedal(I've got that too), but no locked calipers.
