Any thoughts?
Could you be getting an activation of the ABS system? Deactivate the ABS by pulling a fuse and see if the pedal drops in the same circumstances. Do this carefully where you won't hit anything, you will still have normal brakes. It is common to feel something in the brake pedal on many ABS systems when they are working. A loss of vacuum will give you a hard pedal.
