Brake fluid pressure buildup. Ideas?

Lately my rear brakes have been locking up, even after a "rebuild" on the rear calipers. Only after city driving (lots of braking) the pressure seems to build in the rear portion without releasing.

I, on a hunch, decided to try cracking the rear brake line loose up at the master cylinder and..behold, she rolled again.

What could this be? New master cylinder time?
