Yep, I assemble the pistons with rubber grease every time, it makes life easier, and prevents the seals from 'grabbing' the piston as they dry out.
This 'grabbing' makes the piston retract further than normal, and needing you to pump the lever. A bit like having air in the system but a bit more dangerous.
Had this on two bikes so far, a calipers piston clean up with red rubber grease has solved it.

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
