More recently I had a race shop working on the car flush/bleed brakes on the BRZ (w/ Brembos) before an event with Motul (RBF600 I think). Same thing! 2nd day at the track, had to bleed calipers.
Never any issues with parts-store DOT4/DOT5.1 making it through at least three 2-day events.
Again, anecdotal, and frankly mystifying to me, but easy and cheap enough for me to just run what works best for me...

I had the same result with ATE. RBF600 was fine for me though but I am just buying name brand DOT4 at the parts store anymore and not having any issues.
