The problem is that you can press the pedal down further when bleeding than when the brakes were under normal use .
If a wear ridge has formed on the Master Cylinder Piston Rod there have been instances where the Seal Lip has either been scored or reversed itself .
It is a possibility, though I didn't use the pedal to bleed them on this occasion, and last time I had a chance to check the pedal had firmed up somewhat, so I would be surprised if it was the case here.

Not had a chance to do any more on it for various reasons, I am hoping to make progress in the next couple of days.
