I prefer not to hook the Optimate up longterm, partly because it's been suggested that batteries can boil dry, and mostly because I have too many batteries that need charging! Just a thought: the concept of the surface a battery sits on having an effect on self-discharge must surely relate to any film of moisture/condensation over it. A wood floor will be much warmer than a concrete one, after all.
