Phew! I think I get it now…
In the days since you posted this I've returned and read it carefully at least four or five times, and it was only today that I finally put together exactly what you did.
It may (must) all seem perfectly obvious to people who understood what you were doing, but if you read closely, at no point anywhere in the writeup did you actually say you were using this machined pin to clean up the seating face in the caliper. It's assumed this is understood, and at least for me (admittedly sometimes a slow thinker), it wasn't.
…and use this turned pin with some lapping paste to polish the seating face.
…on the end of the pin, to clean up the seating face in the caliper.
So now I can say I agree… great writeup! It's a beautiful thing now that I understand exactly what was happening. I just wanted to post this in case there's one or two others out there like me who couldn't quite put it together.

My idea was to turn a pin that would fit the bore, with almost an interference fit with the highest point of the threads in the bore. I could use the bore as a guide for my turned pin to keep it 'true'/perpendicular to the Seating Face.
…and use this turned pin with some lapping paste to polish the seating face.
I then used 'Autosol' as a lapping paste
…on the end of the pin, to clean up the seating face in the caliper.
