I thought the two sets of contacts did slightly different things and are triggered ever so slightly apart - a really tiny movement. IIRC one is for the brake lights and the other for the ECUs. So you could have a problem with the second set and not know as the brake lights appeared normal.
As MJ says, you can monitor these with VCDS and observe them changing as you move the brake pedal. Just can't recall offhand which exact measuring block it is....  I have a suspicion mine needs adjusting again (or replacing) as I'm occasionally getting some of the weird symptoms of sluggishness that I used to get quite often (caused by the ECUs thinking the brakes are still applied, when they're not).
