I just had this same problem. Follow Greg's advice and others. Change out the M/C, and flush out the entire system. I did and have had zero problems. BTW, The M/C is real easy to change.

This wont happen on the 928, the resevior will pop off prior to this.
There are bleed holes in the filler cap which prevent this.

It can happen, has happened. It does not lock the brakes, just causes them to drag and heats them up until they fade out. Maybe it's not supposed to happen but it can.
