With #3 I've had an identical issue while using the old rotor from 2005 as well as a new one. The old one worked fine for 7+ years.

That leaves #4 as appearing fairly likely, but it seems suspicious to me that the issue pops up simultaneously with a bearing change.

I'm thinking about swapping calipers side to side to see if the issue follows the caliper. That would put the bleed screws in the wrong place, so I don't know if I'd be able to bleed them satisfactorily.
You can't swap the rear calipers from side to side.

It puts the air bleed screw on the bottom.

I rebuild all of my calipers every 4 - 6 years.
