I think I tried that and it failed; but of course when I just wanted to
verify that, the problem did not occur at all. Perhaps that is because I
manually forced the media setting to 10baseT instead of auto, on the
theory that perhaps there would be an autonegotiation problem.    

(one reboot later)

Yes, that made a difference. Once I set media to auto again I could
immediately recreate the problem. Then your trick did not work, not even
after attempting to use 10baseT explicitly again.

So now it seems I can use this as a workaround, at least in some
situations. Would it help in finding the root cause?
