Your car may fluctuate in idle while applying the brakes due to a problem in the computer. Everything in cars nowadays is regulated by the ECM(Electronic Control Module). A few simple diagnostics tests done by a certified tech can tell you what exactly the problem is. You may also have a bad power brake vacuum booster, this would effect the engine idle when the brakes are applied.

I would say a vacumn leak. Check hoses, measure vacumn with running at idle and at idle when brakes applied. This assumes you have power brakes and it idles well without the brakes applied. Please make sure that the clutch is working properly... Does your clutch work properly?
