I have no experience with this but, my thinking is that one should read
the locked axis position and make that the commanded position, then when
the the axis is unlocked, with a small delay for the brake to become
fully unlocked, the axis will not move. Then the new position can be
commanded without worrying about the brake being on. Thinking a little
more, it seems the problem is in the sequence of g-code commands. When
the axis stops, the commanded and actual position should match, or at
least after a short time. The brake can be applied. Then when a new
position is needed, release the brake, wait a short time, then command
the new position.

Or, I could be completely wrong.
