Default 2009 Ultra ABS front brake failure

Tomorrow I'm dropping it off at the dealer but I thought I'd post and see what you all think the problem may be.

When I apply the front brake firmly it's rock solid and works great. However if I let off and apply slight pressure the handle will slow comes all the way back to the grip. I then have to release and reapply pressure. When it does this, there is no braking to the wheel. Imagine my suprise yesterday when I was stopped at a light on a slight down hill grade and the bike wants to roll forward into traffic. At least the rear brake worked. I'm thinking it's the master cylinder. What you you guys think?
