Hotspots on a disc can cause a grabbing effect at low speed, which won't really show up with a vernier.
Normally caused by holding a brake on at traffic lights with a hot disc so it leaves a pad deposit on the disc.
Some are very obvious to the eye but not all of them.
What brake lines do you have on the bike, are they the original type, or new braided?
Old style lines can get tired then have bulges in the line causing juddering sensation.
I was unfortunate enough to have faulty braided lines which cost me a lot of time, money and patience, before discovering what was wrong by default, because the brake lines were the only thing I hadn't changed on the whole front end of my bike.
Was the same feeling as a warped disc, but because they were braided I never suspected them whatsoever and in hindsight i stupidly overlooked them. :'(
