Anyone any idea what the problem is?

A thought. A failed tail light (parking light?) is automatically compensated for by switching on the corresponding brake light and operating it at half power. So, there's a tenuous connection between your blown bulb warning and braking. Maybe the rear light bulb has failed and now the brake bulb is on the blink. Corrosion/damp in the bulb holders may be the underlying cause.
