its possible there is a problem with the line, when the lines get old a tear or small sliver if you will can develop in the line and when you lift off the pedal this sliver can block the fluid from returning, this is my best bet as youve had most everything else replaced.

I would have to agree, happened on my old 00 dodge ram. Although at the time I had no idea, I jsut replaced the lines b/c it was the only thing left, now what livefast says, makes sense

the rear still has flex lines. also while they are at it make sure they perform a brake flush because contaminates could cause accelerated wear and tear as well.
