Here's the update:
C'est clutch! The offending chunks of metal were found wedged between the clutch and the pressure plate. They came from "inside" the clutch (the little sandwichy part where the springs lie).
Exedy OEM organic clutch is in place, transmission is mounted back up, and the rest will be finished tomorrow night after work when I can get back out to where the car is. Motor mounts suck! They're a b*tch to get back in. Luckily I have help, who, in fact, has actually done a significant part of the work, at least the take-down. At least I got to watch; I'm doing the re-assembly though.
And before you ask, YES I GOT THE FLYWHEEL MACHINED.

Wow, that's a new one. Glad you found the problem, and you got to learn a hell of a lot about the hydraulic system for no reason

I'm choosing to believe that it is the failure of the hydraulic system that caused the failure of the clutch. I guess theoretically it's possible, right? Like if the master cylinder failed, it could have caused the slave cylinder to fail which in turn prevented the clutch from disengaging, and of course with the clutch still engaged it could have gotten mysteriously chewed up.
That's my story and I'm stickin to it. At least it's a somewhat educated theory. Ooh, that makes it a hypothesis.

I would tend to doubt the hydraulic system was that bad without you noticing way before. When my master cylinder went I waited way too long and the car was almost un-driveable before I actually replaced the slave and master, and my clutch was just fine after that. But you never know, it might depend on the clutch that was in there and how old it was, etc.
In other words... sure, that sounds like a somewhat plausible hypothesis to me

I will hold on to the belief about the hydraulic system only because I need to somehow console myself for spending $100 that I didn't really have on parts I didn't really need. Although doing the clutch myself and saving the cost of labor is more than enough consolation - overspending $100 but saving myself another $400 by doing it myself definitely helps
I drove the car to work this morning! It runs, well... fabulously. The clutch pedal feels very different than it did before, almost to the point that I thought something was wrong with it last night when I test drove it. It goes in MUCH easier now than it did before. It's a LOT smoother... I checked the pedal play and it's right, and it feels right, so it's not that or anything. I think it's just having fresh fluid in the line, basically a new hydraulic system, and a new clutch is all new to me. I've never had a new clutch before - this is the first car I've ever had to replace a clutch on.
I will also sing high praises of Penzoil Synchromesh. The difference between how my car shifts now and how my car shifted before is remarkable. It's so smooth, it virtually glides into gear. Reverse has never been such a joy! LOL
Thanks all of you guys for all your help and tips and advice and for putting up with my obsessive posts. Hopefully it'll be a long time before I need to solicit any actual mechanical help again.... 239,000 miles and going strong!
