another theory: the lines were reversed front to rear at the master cylinder during the swap. As Albert B, Dave Lenzi,
and others have recently demonstrated, the capacity of the piston in the master cylinder is different in the front vs rear
(not just the reservoir, the volume available in the piston itself).
It's possible to bottom out one half of the piston (and hence have low pressure on one half) while still having
functional brakes on the other half. More an issue with all-disc systems, but could happen in other circumstances.
Just a wild guess, which may not apply here. As JR suggested, it could also be that the rubber brake lines were changed at
the same time and that those were the real problem. Bulging, spongy, or collapsed lines will play havoc with your brakes.
