Didn’t think much of it but since remounting the wheel (following Honda service manual) the shimmy has lessened and the brake works better. Go figure....

Mechanic probably stuck cardboard in between the pads of both calipers because he didn't want have to pry the pads apart in case someone squeezed the lever.
