I was having that same exact issue for about 3 years, just got used to "pumping" the brakes before I needed to stop. After the inevitable happened, someone cut another driver off from the left when I was behind him on the right; I never saw it coming, I did a complete and thorough inspection of my brake system. At first glance everything looked fine, brake pads in front where "meaty", rotors were not glazed, calipers were dry, brake lines were dry, no apparent leaks. In the rear, everything looked good until I removed the drums. They looked fine from the outside, no wetness anywhere along the edge of the drum or wheels studs, on the inside I had one wet. It turned out to be a bad wheel cylinder, and it just had to be the one that feeds both wheels. For some reason, I've never seen this before ( I work as a mechanic ), the rear brake line goes to one wheel cylinder then to the other. Most, if not all, others t-off some where around the frame or differential and then go to each wheel from there, this one didn't. Anyways, replaced that one wheel cylinder and I haven't had anymore problems since, not with the brakes anyways...
