Well, as luck would have it, my system will boot today's upstream kernel (39-rc4+). And, I no longer see the problem in that release, so it seems it is fixed (or harder to reproduce that I thought). Basically, I was seeing it claim to have link in 'ethtool' output when there was no cable connected. It did go to 10Mbps/half duplex link speed when un-plugged. It showed full 1Gbps link when plugged in. I'll let you know if I see this again.
