they make a little cyclic squeak that varies with the wheel rotation speed and is only heard when the car's going fairly slow with the brakes off.
I've never heard that. What contacts the rotor when the brakes are off?

The little metal insert in the pad. It quits squeaking when braking pressure is applied.The pads (and the insert in them) are always in contact with the rotor.
