Yes, on my Surly LHT with the exact same brake as you. It developed
after a while, it wasn't there originally.

Drove me nuts. I played with toe-in, pads, cleaning rims, cable
"leverage", etc., all to no avail. I didn't try the fork mounted cable
hanger, but I was pondering it.

It wasn't until I ran across a thread somewhere which suggested
checking headset adjustment. I tightened my headset a bit, and the
shudder was diminished. A bit more, diminished more. One final bit,
and it was gone (maybe a quarter turn or so total). Note that the
headset wasn't theoretically too loose before (based on bearing play)
and I don't think it's too tight now. Still turns smoothly without
binding. For what it's worth my headset is a Cane Crake S-3.
