ABS too sensistive

My 1995 Explorer Sport 4x4 has 112K miles, new tires, excellent brake disks and pads.

Lately, when braking normally (even from slow speeds like city driving coming to a stop sign on dry pavement) the ABS kicks in just before I get to a complete stop.

What could be causing this? Is it just bothersome or could it be dangerous to ignore?

The first thing I would look for is contamination of the brake lining from a wheel cylinder or axle seal, it doesn't take much to cause a grabby brake.
