Well, that throws my theory out the window . That only leaves the possibility that somehow the motor is getting momentary power to unlock the brake.
This is like trying to solve a murder mystery!!

The dealer confirmed the motor is a worm drive (like a Wiper or power window motor) and thus will be self locking when stopped. Will do a bit of testing to see if there is any pattern to the failure and then take it back and leave with the dealer.

Tested and tested and it would not fail!!
Took to dealer and left it. Surprise, surprise, it worked perfectly. No faults found. Will pick it up and drive it to see if the fault returns, although very few riding days left this year in Ontario.
