Master seals should not go bad in only one year, but the pressure bleeding might blow a seal if you used too much pressure. The pressure bleeders that grab pressure from a tire warn to not exceed 20psi. 10 psi is really plenty.
After your last post, I am wondering if you got the air completely out when you were pressure bleeding. Pressure bleeding should eliminate the chance of air being drawn back in. Of course you can't run the resevoir dry or you will pump plenty of air in. I would hook your pressure back up and rebleed all four cylinders.
Then, I would pump the brakes with the engine off to get rid of the remaining booster vacuum. Once the pedal is rock hard, it should not gradually go to the floor. If the pedal sinks, you have a bad master or a hidden leak. If the pedal stays high, your master should be OK. If the brakes still feel a bit spongy when you drive the car, you might just have a swelling rubber brake hose. New hoses usually give a nice firm pedal.
