Could have been the piston getting stuck in the lever with some brute force braking. Did the lever/s go floppy?

I don't think so, I just noticed that I could suddenly pull the lever back to the bar and there was a distinct lack of bite. I thought perhaps some brake fluid had made its way onto the pads, but it seemed to return to normal operation a few mins later.

I'll see if I can replicate it on the way home tonight.

Check the hoses all the way along too, I had one where the hose had failed enough that squeezing hard let fluid push out a bubble from the hose failure but it still held liquid and went back in again and felt more normal when not squeezing hard.
