As you have pointed out, I don't want to shag the bearings or the clutch.
I guess it could also begin to degrade the seals too.

I can see where fuel would harm traditional babbit--style automotive bearings, but I don't think rollers would be harmed. Some people wash that style of bearing in petrol anyway. I wouldn't, but some do.
I agree that the fuel can't be good for the clutch.
A certain amount of fuel always ends up in the bottom end during normal combustion, but not a level that you would ever notice. Perhaps you should check your venting system, just to be sure that it is free of any obstructions. I'm not saying the venting system is the cause, but I'd feel better knowing it is capable of dealing with the pressure.
