Whenever you do a brake fluid flush, especially if it's been a long time, you also clean out some of the crud (highly technical term) that seals the imperfect interface between the rubber master cylinder pistion seals and the wall of the master cylinder. You get leakage and pedal bleed-down.
Same thing happened to me when I replaced my calipers a few weeks ago and flushed the system. I now have a new master cylinder waiting back at home while my brake pedal is indicating that the system wants some attention real soon.
