I do mildly remember using it at a stop light, and it was having trouble holding the car, so it can't be too awesome.

In the case of how our brakes are set up, that's actually true.

So....is there something wrong with my ebrake mechanism?
You may also want to take it in to the dealer and have them check the e-brake mount. My e-brake light started staying on after startup even though the brake handle was all the way down. Sometimes the light would go off after doing a restart and sometimes it wouldn't. After a week I started to hear a very slight tin-sounding clang. Eventually over time it started to get louder particularly when turning the wheel. When I took it in to the service dealer it turned out that the e-brake mount had partially broke one of its mounting points. They replaced the mount under warranty and never had the e-brake light problem since.

Just another possibility other than low brake fluid .....
