You sure you got free play on the master cylinder push rod, sounds like it on all the time and as the hydraulic fluid heats up it's expanding pushing the brakes on more & more. Wouldn't have thought the pistons would have seized if the brake releases when the bleed nipple is undone.
Whip off the lower fairing & check the push rod has about 3mm of movement before it starts pushing on the master cylinder piston.
