Mine has a similar prob. Hit a bump and I here a noise under dash/hood and the pedal is stiff. Shortly there after the abs and brake light come on. Then the brakes function "normal". (ie. no stiff pedal or noise)

Here is some information and a bit of schematics to aid your chasing...
ABS Failure

Now if your speedometer is working properly and the speed is correct then most likely your rear sensor is fine. But now the 2 front ones could give you troubles. If iether one is bad it will make the pedal feel hard then let go and the ABS computer will fail. At this point the ABS is no longer working.

But if the pulsing is felt constantly I would say it rotors.
