Thought I'd try the latest rc kernel:

 Sidenote: My workstation is housed in a very nice designer case
from System76.  It is a lovely piece of furniture -- not an eyesore.
 Just ordered some Gigabit-Ethernet-over-powerline adaptors to
test.  I'm curious if they have to be on the same circuit, or
if they will work just being on the same phase.

FWIW, I've seen "bridges" that install into one's electrical panel to make powerlines work .. never really looked into it much, but I assumed it was to be crossing legs on phase.
I don't see any particular reason why a powerline shouldn't work through a circuitbreaker to another circuit on the same leg...
...but where it gets tricky is tracing "which leg".  All of this would be easy if breakers on the left were leg#1 and those on the right were leg#2, but IIRC, contemporary designs will alternate legs:  if the top breaker on the left is leg#1, the breaker directly below it will be leg#2, then the third one is leg#1 again...etc:  overall, it just makes tracking down "which circuit is on which leg?" harder ...
...and the simple solution is to not bother to trace stuff out to make it work by selecting where the powerlines are to be installed (or moving breakers within the box) but to just install a bridge so that it works on all of them.
