This seems to address the issue. When first running the command, there was no change to my configuration (eth0 with DHCP address, eth1 with none, and eth1:avahi with adhoc address). Unplugging eth0 did not generate any eth0 adhoc address. Connecting eth1 disabled the eth1:avahi interface, and provided a connection. Unplugging eth1 did not regenerate eth1:avahi. Attaching eth0 set everything correctly. Also, the act of reconnecting the cables appears to have disabled roaming mode on both interfaces. I don't have a crossover currently, but I submit that the use of adhoc wired networking still needs to be tested (if I plug my laptop into yours, we should then have a network, which goes away when the cable is disconnected).
