I guess the brakes on my 5er must be something special, because they will lock up the brakes when the break-away is pulled.
But I still don't think you have a warranty claim.
Good luck;
When the emergency break-away cable is disconnected, all 4 brakes are designed to lock up the wheels, that is the purpose.
I think a better way to state it is that when the break-away cable is disconnected all brakes will have maximum power directed to them. Whether that will lock up the brakes is another matter.
As was noted maximum braking effectiveness is just before the brakes lock up, not when they are locked up.
