Ive had this problem with the first use of my brakes just about throwing me through the windshield. Happens every morning. Sometimes in the afternoon leaving work also. just a tap on the pedal and the brakes jam and squeal. stomping on them (and skidding) a couple times clears it up.
Ive shotgunned everything and the problem is still there. New calipers, rotors, wheel cyls and drums. New pads and shoes. New master cylinder and lines.
Nothing seems to have any effect on whatever the problem is.
I tried bleeding the system again last night in the hopes that Id used contaminated fluid. Maybe there was water in the lines. No luck.

Anyone figure this one out?

Sounds like overnight flash rusting in the rear drums typical in wet/humid climates.
About the only thing you can do is be aware of it and do some light braking in the morning to wipe the rust off.

When you say that you are skidding, do you know if it is front and rear, front, or just the rear?
Mine did this. It was the back shoes. I replaced them with high dollar shoes ($102 a set), instead of the cheap metallic ones, and it stopped completely.

sounds like you may have oil on your shoes

pretty sure my axle seals are still ok.. but I think Ill try replacing the shoes. Ive had this happen when I get off work. its just weird that theres enough rust in 8 hours to do it.

kawi600, has this been a problem for a long time or just when it's been raining. Seems you guys have had a bit of rain of late. I know when I park my 95 after driving thru rain it's not unusual to have touchy brakes the next morning first time or two I use them. I've just accepted it as a normal for wet shoes.

Every morning rain or shine it does it

I have nearly eliminated that problem with mine by keeping the rear brakes adjusted up good and tight. Might not be what's wrong with yours but it's worth a try. Cheap and easy to do.
