OK, I can add a little more information to this report.
First, it looks as if restarting avahi-daemon
is not enough. I must *first* plug in the ethernet
cable, *then* restart the avahi-daemon.
I'm using (I assume) hotplug to detect action on the ethernet port;
when it's connected, I run /usr/bin/guessnet-ifupdown to configure
the port. Maybe something is not getting notified at this time?
Let me know if I can provide more information.
Also, here are some excerpts from syslog:

---- at this point I took down ath0 and connected eth0, but nobody
notified avahi-daemon, so I had to restart it again.
