Paul,
I have read on this board that it is possible to damage the Master Cylinder seals by bleeding by foot, by extending the pedal travel more that driving conditions would do. I suppose that if the seals have been damaged, you should be able to build pressure with the pedal, but when you keep your foot on the pedal, you would be able to feel it losing system pressure, as the fluid leaked past the seals. Could this be your problem?
