It won't hurt to bleed it at the slave cylinder. I did this once
successfully. You may have air, water, who knows what in there.

Jon:
So you're saying that with this first attempt to start you leave the
transmission in gear, press the clutch pedal down, the clutch pedal feels
just like it always does, (i.e., normal resistance of the throw-out bearing
against the pressure plate fingers), but when you turn over the engine the
vehicle "jumps" because the clutch is engaged and the car in gear?
The first thought that comes to mind is that there's air in the system,
though I'm not sure what a "cool/cold morning" would have to do with this
behavior.
