"This warning does seem to be in all the old Chiltons and Motor manuals..."

My '82 Clymer, '83 and '89 Chilton's all have the Full Pedal procedure but no warnings.

The '52 Motor manual comes closest to acknowledging a potential hazard in their pedal bleeding, saying to push the pedal "about half way down", but no reason given, nor warning about full pedal.

Chris Mooney makes a good point about the age of our cars (compared to other/older matques) making MC rust more likely and possibly prevalent. That, coupled with such a large band of dedicated care-givers, and a forum to "spread the word" may account for precautions here that aren't found elsewhere.
