Bench bleeding the master cylinder made a difference. Got rid of a stubborn air bubble at the top of the piston bore, I guess. I have 1" travel of the slave cylinder rod with a full pedal stroke so all the air is gone. So now I can get it into first gear consistently.
I still think the clutch is engaging with the pedal too close to the floor but I'll live with it.
If it goes bad again, we need to pull the clutch to see if it has a mechanical problems like those listed above.
Paul, the vent hole is clear.
