Jake, I don't know exactly what it is, but the issue isn't really with debris. Some have pinned it on the surface treatment of the pistons.
If you pull the calipers off and remove the pads I bet you'll find that not all of the pistons are extending out of the caliper when the brake lever is pulled in...this is what we finally found on Japawhat02's bike.
It's easier with two people, one at the brake lever and one at the caliper. Extend those pistons that will come out and clean with brake cleaner and a toothbrush. Push those back in and hold them in the caliper while pulling on the brake lever to get the 'stuck' ones out. Clean them as the others and repeat with the other caliper. You won't even need to bleed the brakes.
It's been six weeks or so since Japawhat02 did his and they're better still than the '04's, equal to the RC51's.
Food for thought...
