I doubt it has anything to do with brake fluid as the emergency brake is mechanical not hydraulic. It's probly just a bad switch or the contacts in the switch come togethor when you punch it.

Some cars, but I don't think the Mustang, have a brake fluid level switch in the brake fluid cap. With this system, often, if the fluid is a bit low, it sloshes when you accelerate and makes the brake light come on.
