The service adviser acknowledged this and did not hesitate to replace the clutch when mentioned. In fact when I went in to the service office all the advisers showed concern and the closest to the door went out yelling at the porter to stop, get out of the car and leave it where it was.

Even if he was standing on the brake as you suggest, it would be no more damaging than stalling the car. Sounds like a blessing in disguise since you are now getting a new clutch out of it. Make sure to get a Tick Master Cylinder. Your problems will go away.
