For clutches in general, there should be a sometimes adjustable rubber stopper to prevent the master cylinder from bottoming out before the pedal, make sure this still exists / is adjusted.
After the part breaks, are you able to rotate the head easily? I'm thinking the rod pivot is binding and flexing the rod to failure. With the pedal up, you should be able to wiggle the head left / right.
I'd also be tempted to unbolt the clutch slave cyl, compress it back to operating height, have someone hold it against something solid then press the pedal by hand while jiggling the rod looking for binding. ( The slave will extend while pressing the pedal, this is must occur, just make sure the slave does not fully extend and come apart.
