I've read there's a wax or some sort of layer on the clutch that'll heat up and stink a little before you expose the actual clutch material. Could be that. No worries.

Congratulations. I like the OEM clutch. Takes a lot of abuse. Still no telling what the previous owner did to the clutch.

Correct. A new clutch is like new brake pads. There is a break-in period.
