If the lube is indeed light enough to evaporate off when the brakes generate some heat upon first use, I can see where that would work.

Right now my truck has axle seal problems and the brake shoes are oil soaked. They still work, just not as good. And when I replace those seals (probably next spring) I plan on hitting those shoes with brake cleaner instead of replacing them.
