What will have happened in your case is the brake backplate will have expanded with rust where it is bolted to the stub axle, and as a result it will have been rubbing on the seal and damaged the face.
Because the ABS signal is momentarily lost, you end up with a plausibility error, and the ABS light comes on.
The cure is a clean up of the brake backplate, and a new rear wheel bearing.
Have fun, it could be a lot worse you could have been fixing the same type of fault on the wife's Freelander, and it's taken me two days
On the plus side, at least the reluctor rings are available separately for the Freelander, unlike the 75 and ZT
