Is there anything else it can really be? It seems to me that either
he master cylinder is bad, or there's an air leak into the system.
ut I'm surprised that there isn't a corresponding fluid leak out if
ir is getting in. I'm puzzled by it and will likely be working on it
efore too long if it continues to have the problem.
  Don't know if it's a "something else" but a trick I learned 
from working on an MB...  The only way to properly bleed it is 
to connect a piece of hose from a front caliper bleeder to the clutch slave bleeder.  Open 
the clutch bleeder.   Have someone pump the brake pedal.  When they go down, open the 
caliper bleeder.  Up? Close it.   Repeat until no bubbles in the clutch master.  It was the ONLY 
way to get a clutch after we replaced either the master or slave, don't recall which.
