It looks like Ford figured it out. They know exactly what it is and have a name for it...
"a clutch pedal Stayout condition"
From Ford Mustang TSB (not recall):
"The clutch pedal Stayout is a condition where at high engine RPM, centrifugal forces on the clutch system can reduce the force with which the clutch diaphragm fingers push against the release bearing. This can result in the clutch pedal staying on the floor until engine RPM decreases and the diaphragm return force increases."
So... why is GM pretending the issue doesn't exist, or is driver error? It happened to me only once, but trying to explain this to a service rep is like pulling teeth, especially when they pretend they have never heard of it before.
One good sign... Ford is only fixing cars manufactured before a particular date (not ALL mustangs). This means that there is a field fix (part replacement) for this, and NOT a unfixable design flaw in this type of application. So if and when GM admits it, they will fix it.
VIN#...211974 (April 2010)
