Because Maxwell's equations do not predict them

You are close.  What Maxwell's equations can't
predict is  a third axis of freedom.

Agreed. For a quicky, let me use ExB=C
in a g-field where "C" is the velocity
of light in g-field, "c" is a constant
velocity of light in the absence of any
field effects, then c = C + delta C.

I'd consider the "delta C" to be associated
with a longitudinal EM wave as conjecture,
to be considered.

Hey Sue, did you enjoy that quicky?

Ahhh... no I don't enjoy that any more than
a stalemate with Carlip about curving
light particles.

I can't see any connection with what may as
well be refraction in solar plasma and:

<< It can be seen from these equations that,
in the absence of current and charge, the
solutions are potentials which propagate at
the speed of light.

The Lorenz gauge is incomplete in the sense
that there remains a subspace of gauge transformations
which preserve the constraint. These remaining
degrees of freedom correspond to gauge functions
which satisfy the wave equation... >>

Your capital "C" is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shapiro_effect ?

No mention of corrections for solar plasma so
it is hard, for me at least, to attribute any
of that to an interaction between light and
gravity.

I am more with the OP. Light IS gravity,
(or the cohering signal for its ensembles)
so it doesn't interact with itself.
