Good point Wally, I've come to the same conclusion. On paper it shouldn't work, or the bias should be way off but in practice it works great!
Also, when working out a brake system, don't get tied up on the hydraulic bias calculations because overall you are concerned with brake torque. There is a hydraulic component to the brake toque calculation, but there are additional variables like moment arm (disk diameter) and the friction coefficient of the pad.
I've got the Boxster S brakes (318x30, 40/36 F and 298x24, 30/28R...IIRC) with a stock 19mm dual circuit and I do have a slight front bias. Works great, I don't think I could improve this setup with aftermarket MC's...
