If something is rubbing on the pedal or push rod parts or there is some pedal missalignment, then friction may cause this to happen. I would look on the pedal side of the hardware before working on the hydraulics.



You are correct , there will not be enough resistance in the hydraulic system to hold the clutch pedal to the floor , as well as the linkage perhaps causing it , it maybe in the pressure plate itself or the clutch release bearing hanging up on the transmisson , most have reported the condition occurs when warm , again points to mechanical.
