The -current Pi3 that's having ping trouble behaves sligtly differently
compared to the stable-13 example. A one-hop (no NAT) ping looks like:
[test host is rebooting]
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: sendto: Host is down
64 bytes from 50.1.20.28: icmp_seq=35 ttl=64 time=52.568 ms
[ue0 just came up]

[I started outbound ping. Should have waited a bit longer.]

Uname -a on the test host reports

Am I correct in thinking that "main-n255160" is a sort of serial number that
can be used to compare branch revisions by age?

Thanks for reading,
