The symptoms are definitely what you get when the cable rubs on the brake disk and it starts slicing into the wires. It seems that when the front wheel or brake caliper is removed and replaced it's very easy to miss something that holds the cable away from the disk; I now have mine routed round the outside of the caliper to be on the safe side, since finding replacements for the cable is a bit of a mare.
