Pure speculation, before you started the car you had at some point stepped on the brake pedal and the pads were in contact with the rotors, slowing the rotation. When you started the car the vac on the booster retracted the shaft to the mc and when you spun the tire there was less pressure.
Even if this is wrong, it does sound good. ;-)

Then I released the brake pedal. And put a dab of dielectric grease on my finger. Put that on the end of the screw and pulled my finger away. That left a thin trail of grease sticking out from the screw. I bolted the master down, then removed it. And by looking at the grease, the master was something like 1mm away from the screw. I figured that was good enough. The brakes feel better now. All I've got to do next is replace the master since it is leaking some into the booster. I hope the booster is fine as it's only been on there for a few weeks.

Same here. Technically it is VERY easy. But getting the two bolts off, which is above the steering column on the inside of the car is a pain. Take the seat out which is easy and have patience. It goes on a lot fast than it came off. I think it took me 3 hours with 2 hours of it on those 2 bolts, but you might have better luck and be done in 45 minutes...
