Correct that no failure in the hydraulics could do that, but not all have diagonally split hydraulics.
If a car has the Mk II abs system, the ones with a hydraulic pressure accumulator instead of a vacuum booster (including all traction control cars): They have the master split across the two front wheels, with the rears only controlled via a hydraulic proportioning valve using abs pressure. In effect you get a three circuit system, but both rears are on one circuit. If electrical goes out, you loose assist, and rear brakes.
