it might get a mechanical advantage, but they're still crap!
i don't trust the lurch as the backlash gets taken up in the diffs with transmission brakes. and even then, you're never sure if
it'll hold. most unnerving.
I know exactly what you mean 
try putting it on at before you've stopped (1 or 2 mph) the mechanical advantage means 1 click and the wheels lock - then the whole thing
bounces back and forward within the backlash for a couple of mins
its a good parking brake, but you just need to remember to park 6" up hill from anything it might hit

Surely the amount that disk shrinks in its thickness is negligible.
I would have thought that the stretch in the tight handbrake cable would easily be able to absorb that small amount.
................Obviously I'm wrong - but its what I would have expected!!
