Brake fluid does indeed absorb moisture, which lowers the boiling point. I was one of a few (and probably many more owners) who boiled their clutch fluid in the summer. I replaced it with Valvoline DOT 4 (surprisingly good stuff), and will swap it, along with the clutch line, to ATE SuperBlue.
Moisture always finds a way to seep in, guaranteed.
Brake fluid and clutch fluid should be changed relatively regularly, to make sure the fluid remains fresh and mostly dry.
