I have seen this happen several times at a local bike meeting area the last was a brand new Fireblade, same conditions, slight downhill camber on exit from car park onto the road riders using front brake while heading to the right at very low speed it doesn't take much for the momentum to take the bike over & there is no stopping it once on its way. Using the rear brake in these conditions helps with the weight transfer and stops the forks compressing

I did a rebuild on my calipers 2 years ago and it was pretty easy, 2 things you need to remember 1 make sure you clean out the recess that the seals fit in with a dremel and wire wheel so they seat properly and thus shouldn't leak 2 is don't forget the 2 rubber o-rings, give them a small rub with some rubber grease, as for the pistons just polish them up with some autosol or similar to a good finish them lube the seals with brake fluid and replace.
