You might be flexing something enough to cause that combo-valve to trigger the light. You should be able to unplug the valve to verify that as the source. I would guess the only other source to trigger the light is the E-brake.

It's definitely the combo-valve triggering the light. Is it possible there is just enough flex in system? I'm tempted to put braided flex lines to see if that stops it... Argh.

You could be flexing calipers, drums, brake shoes or any number of things. That hydra-boost is probably boosting your brake line pressure far above any real world needs when you are pressing "super hard" on it. I'm not sure you really have a problem as you would most likely never put that kind of pressure on the brakes even in an emergency stop. You would most likely lock up the brakes first but you could test that in a safe area with no traffic/people and lots of run off area.

That's kind of what I am thinking... but I also keep thinking that the original Astro wouldn't trigger the light in such a situation.
