After getting home I checked the master cylinder - a dual unit I installed a few years ago from the Corvair Ranch - and found a dry front cylinder.  So, at least some dual m/c conversions work under some failure conditions.  I'll add that I had carefully adjusted the pushrod so that the brakes had very little play.  Ironically it was due for a brake flush this spring.
