Page 13 on that link you provided is what I think may have caused the premature failure, in particular the section about bend radius. The second short hose from the caliper to the steel line (the one that failed) has quite a tight bend and the excess strain is probably what caused it to tear. I'm not sure if the OEM lines are molded differently but the lines I bought were all straight and required quite a bit of force to bend/secure tightly.
