I doubt this much could come from just the front brakes.

Does the ABS cycle fluid through it even when not being engaged?

I have not had the ABS kick in since I did the rears.
brake fluid cycles a bit when you press the pedal - the green you are seeing is most probably residual fluid from the ABS unit or the master cylinder. My car also had that and it took 2 flushes 6 months apart to get rid of the moldy green colored brake fluid.
