I can't really contribute much except to say your theory makes very good sense - if a finger were to pop off the side of the throwout bearing it would make such a noise. I suspect it would leave some scratches on the side of the bearing - have you looked at that closely?

Thanks in any case for the detailed work to find the problem!
