The Hydroboost uses a Nitrogen Accumulator that is pressurized by the hydraulic fluid and held with a check valve. Up on loss of hydraulic fluid, the Nitrogen Accumulator discharges its stored force and gives up to 3 stops.......'so they say'.
The hydraulic tank you mention, must be under some sort of pressure that on loss of hydraulic assist will release its sotred force to give assist in a given number of brake operations.
I too, have never seen a system as your describe.
