Forgot to mention.. the calipers, rotors and pads were new 20k miles ago as well.

Seems like the culprit is weak seals that allow moisture to sit and build rust which eventually fouls the bores. I didn't do the install, but I am seeing that the brakes need more than cursory attention if you want to avoid these headaches. Greasing the outer seals would help a bit as well as more regular maintenance/inspection. First I tried greasing the inner boot lightly as well but found it made getting the retaining ring on a hell of a lot harder, as it kept sliding off. Overall - PITA.
