High Idle After Pressing Brake Pedal

I just experienced this today. I had the truck in park, tapped the brake pedal, and when it started to come back up the engine idle went up breifly. What could this be?

Miked,
This is a new one for me....the only thing I could think of is somehow the brake pedal mechanism is in contact with your throttle cable/linkage. Take a close look under the dash and make sure nothing is in contact with the throttle cable.

I've seen leaky brake boosters do that before.
