Yes, exactly.

Although the right and left brake lights would balance at any current, the BFWS circuit was modified in '86 (long before there were 940s) to accommodate the high-mounted center lamp. This extra circuitry specifically looks for incandescent lamp current.

Disabling the BFWS is a mixed blessing. True enough, diodes themselves should last longer than the car, but unfortunately that does not mean the lamps will light up more reliably, through all the supporting connections needed, than the filament type, and therefore not need monitoring.
