 Does this sound like a simple matter of replacing the clutch fluid or
 something more sinister like a master cylinder?

Ken,
Are you losing fluid? Check and see if there is brake fluid on the slave 
cylinder and take the boot off the master cylinder under the dash and see if 
fluid is leaking in there. I think it might be a bad master cylinder as it 
only happens once it is warmed up and you have to pump it. Good luck
