Yes, Master Cylinder's can and will cause creeping pedal, and also can aerate the fluid if there bad enough.

Sounds like this is what you have , you bleed it , its OK for a while then the low pedal starts , making the light come on.

Make 100% sure there are NO hidden leaks , I have seen pin holes in rusty old brake lines that only leaked under extreme brake pressures. Even a seeping wheel cylinder can give you a crappy pedal.

Not an electrical problem , but a Hydraulic problem.
