The brake pivot was only slightly loose, but the symptoms were only slight, too. So I whipped that drum off again, and using a pair of pointed-nose vice-grips I screwed the pivot in as tight as I could, less than a full turn. Followed this with very careful use of a punch, on the back of the pivot with a centre punch and a moderately sized hammer, tightening it a little bit more.
On a test drive I could feel no symptoms no matter how I tried. Stop-start traffic at 2 mph had been the situation when it happened earlier.
Big thanks Ruairidh. Think we can say it's fixed.
