On a damp road, the fronts locked up first, as they should. I've fortunately never had a need to lock up the brakes since and didn't think to recheck the bias at any point. Recently, I discovered that my rear brake pads are very thin (Jag inboard brakes). I tested the bias again on a wet road and the rears locked up first. So, something changed over time.

I'm really surprised that the rear pads have worn that much. Very unusual.
It may be that the front pads have glazed and they no longer work as original, so you've been overusing the rears with normal light braking. You might try either sanding the front pads or replacing them with new ones.
