By the way, the throttle system is not covered by the powertrain warranty. It only covers "things that touch oil" plus the water pump according to the dealership service man. So I'm going to live with the high idle while the car is moving and wait for further developments.
Depressing the clutch operates a switch that switches off the cruise control momentarily, I wonder if this has anything to do with the problem, even if the cruise is not on.
