Right, well, no amount of spanking and tugging helped, so I took the bike out and gave the brakes a number of long, firm pulls on the brakes - never coming to a stop, gently releasing. Eventually the brakes got hotter and I noticed the shudder severity rising with the heat.
So I'm fairly certain they're toast. Visually they look pretty well worn anyway (I'll have to remember to get the vernier out and measure thickness - I'm wondering if they're close to the service limit anyway). I've ordered a pair of EBC discs & the HH pads from Sportsbikeshop.
