It could be....since when engine warm may take a bit more current to move the Solenoid and as such may be beyond the capability of the clutch switch to handle that current. In other words you have less voltage at the Starter Solenoid because of the greater resistance in the Clutch Switch Circuit at a time when the Solenoid takes a bit more voltage to function when engine warm.

Think for a start it would do any good to bypass the switch?

It is worth a try and would help diagnose the situation.......that would eliminate (at least for now) the switch as the culprit if in fact it still does not start. If it starts that would point to the switch as the item having excessive resistance in the start circuit providing voltage/current to the starter Solenoid (which may be a bit of a culprit being sticky and requiring more voltage (greater magnetic field) to activate).
