FWIW, I've seen "bridges" that install into one's electrical panel to 
make powerlines work .. never really looked into it much, but I assumed 
it was to be crossing legs on phase.

I don't see any particular reason why a powerline shouldn't work through 
a circuitbreaker to another circuit on the same leg...

....but where it gets tricky is tracing "which leg".  All of this would 
be easy if breakers on the left were leg#1 and those on the right were 
leg#2, but IIRC, contemporary designs will alternate legs:  if the top 
breaker on the left is leg#1, the breaker directly below it will be 
leg#2, then the third one is leg#1 again...etc:  overall, it just makes 
tracking down "which circuit is on which leg?" harder ...

....and the simple solution is to not bother to trace stuff out to make 
it work by selecting where the powerlines are to be installed (or moving 
breakers within the box) but to just install a bridge so that it works 
on all of them.
