I think I've got this now.  I screwed the switch in to the point where  it 
touched the brake pedal when the pedal was at rest.  However, it would  be 
possible to screw the switch in all the way so that it pushes the pedal  
forward to the extent that it takes up the brake pedal free play.

The 3mm  free play has nothing to do with the electrical  system and 
everything to do with the hydraulic system. If you don't give it  the free 
play, 
the MC piston may not retract far enough to uncover the release  port and the 
brakes do not fully disengage. The system pumps up but does not  release.
