An ex had a similar problem in her Laser - The Master cylinder was worn out. Sometimes the fluid pressure would leak back past the seals. Very scary.
I take it you've checked theres no external fluid leaks etx.? If not then it's a good bet your master is the culprit.

If its rebuilt..throw it away and get a new one from Repco...your probs will disappear I reckon..ask Dattoman as well.

I sometimes test masters by clamping all three or four flexible hoses. The pedal should be rock hard.
