Has anyone encountered this problem with a Chorus rear differential (single pivot and post 2000, that is) brake? The brake doesn't return all the way after it is engaged (as evinced by suddenly rattling brake lever).
It seems like it must be the caliper because if I just compress the caliper by hand, it doesn't pop back. Also, if I loosen the mounting bolt quite a bit, it seems to spring back just fine, though at the point it is too loose to engage the 15 mm centering nut. The cable routing hasn't changed and there doesn't seem to be any undue friction in the cable. Is there something in the caliper I need to lube? Or is it a matter of balancing the torque of the mounting bolt with the centering nut?

Since you're convinced the cable is not to blame, go to the Campy web site and download a parts catalog. Look at the exploded diagram of the caliper to get a hint as to where a nut might be for loosening the arms a wee bit. You might want to take off the wheel and blast the pivot point with WD-40 in case some tar or other crud got in there.
The arm action should be independent of the mounting screw torque.
