Yes, I killed the process as it approached 6GB after I filed this report. I will report back with the growth over the next few days. I suspect it occured when I switched between different wireless networks and physical locations, but I would need to run a series of tests to conslude this for certain.
I also find Chrome's dramatic consumption of memory to be unnecessary, but this is another task to trace.... For the moment, I still am focused on gnome-software. For reference I am finding 2-older reports of a memory leak in gnome-software, but these too seemed to have died out as the reporter eventually stopped responding (they're a year old or more).
