Some master cylinders have a check valve located down at the output end of the cylinder , the end where the brass union for the pipes is located. The theory of the valve being there: it is to provide a small amount of permanent pressure in the hydraulic system. In your case, the little amount of permanent pressure might be enough to turn the brake light switch on.
