This might activate the ABS which would be felt through the brake pedal.
This is pure conjecture on my part: What do people think?

Interesting theory, with a good deal of merit. Could also possibly be a cracked or corroded reluctor ring? Maybe the rings are marginal and the very slight change in alignment of the wheel when turning is just enough to tip it over the critical point and mean it doesn't deliver a smooth ABS signal?
