I had a similar problem with my left tail light. The reverse brake and turn all bled together. I never discovered the problem. I would take the tail light loose to check voltage and the problem would stop. Finally it stopped while diagnosing and haven't had a problem since. My guess is its a problem inside the tail light. Just curious, is this the factory tail light or a replacement?
My reverse wasn't bleeding in but, I was having a similar problem. The brake would also cause the driver front park light to come on. I swapped the top and bottom light sockets in the housing and it stopped bleeding over but the park lights on the drivers' side don't work at all. I tried changing the bulbs but that didn't change anything. I did notice that the plastic is melted and burnt around the metal prongs on the housing and the light sockets. Not sure why but, they seem to be getting a bit warmer than they should be. Anyone have any idea what would cause that? I'm using aftermarket housings with the stock sockets if that matters. I'm leaning toward loose grounds but, where are they grounded? I hate wiring.
I'm ordering a set of IPCW LEDs tonight so hopefully they won't get as hot but, I would like to make sure the wiring is sound before I plug another $300 into it.
