So during panic braking, the idle goes UP?
If the motor's idle drops during hard braking, it isusually the rear fuel bolw overfolwing through the vent tuba and making the motor go too rich and almost stall.
If your's is going up, you might have the idle adjustement too rich, during braking the fuel sloshes away from the pickups for the idle circuit and leans out a little.

Or there is something really odd going on and the throttle is opening somehow during braking? Such as when you accidently depress both the brake and gas pedals.
