David, if I understand you, you are talking about if 2 co-moving electrons should be attracted or repelled?
In a wire it seems that it would be correct to model the electromagnetic field created by the 'stationary' protons which are moving from the electrons POV. This carries an additional interesting possibility to create negative impedance. If you consider an electron accelerating relative to positive charges, the magnetic field the electron sees from the proton grows and this cuts past the electron inducing an EMF that opposes the acceleration of the electron. So if we now look at what would happen if an electron accelerates relative to a negatively charged reference frame, the electron now sees the opposite magnetic field expand from the stationary electrons. This reverses the force to one that now assists the acceleration of the electrons. This allows for negative induction, first energy is gained as current increases, but the EMF will also accelerate collapse of the current if it starts to collapse. This would suggest that a slow ramp up of current would experience a voltage gain with a very sudden collapse. I shared this idea for a few years before it turned up here: http://www.oocities.org/nayado/ (now that is a long time ago too) Logically no one has yet found a flaw with this concept. It could however be wrong if SR doesn't hold up, if the electron creates the field because it moves relative to a local reference frame this would not work, but then SR wouldn't work either. So here if either Free Energy of proof of an aether. I'd rather both of course.
