I would be willing to bet the squeaking is the e-brake shoes ever so slightly rubbing on the inside of the rotor (which does spin) and when you adjusted them, it got rid of this. For those who have the problem try adjusting the e-brake and see if that fixes the issue.

Possibly. There is an adjustment screw for the e-brake between the brake shoes on each side of the rear brakes. You can use a screwdriver to adjust either up or down inside the brake drum to adjust the tightness of the handbrake lever.
