It was a sticky booster after all (or at least that appears to have been the problem). I finally had a chance to replace the booster and when I pulled off the recently installed master cylinder the booster probably had a pint of brake fluid in it. I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't notice that when I put in the new MC a few weeks ago. Regardless, the new booster seems to have fixed the problem, but since the severe brake dragging was not a constant problem I'll have to drive it around for a few weeks to be sure. Looks good so far though.
Thanks to everyone for their help.
