Here's a better statement of what I thought were my problems with the new
SATA drive on Linux:

Browser showed ghosts
Thanks to all those who have responded. I think that I now have a
pretty fair idea of the way Linux today assigns device labels. Also,
when I re-booted after updating my system, the file browser dropped the
ghosts and found the new SATA drive OK, so that problem went away.
Once again, thanks
So would you care to fill us in a bit?

OOPS! the first question should read:
1) Why did a SATA drive on Channel 2 show up as sda?

I don't know the answer, but I believe that it's due to how udev does
its thing. This might shed a little light:

I'd like to find a nice little udev tutorial, if someone knows of one.

For what it's worth your Ubuntu install probably saw the one disk one master
channel 2 as replacing the missing entry for master channel 0. I've seen
usb root hub's treat thumb drives the same. What Eric wrote about udev may
react the way some usb root hubs behave.
Not sure and mostly guessing
Look for nautilus updates and anything involving gnome as well. Maybe just
dumb luck but if you update the file browser (provided their are updates out
there) then maybe it will redo how it reads the drive channels and fix
itself. You might also try updating the kernel, but that seems unrelated.

Since the IDs for the three disks were sda, sdb, and sdc before I
added the SATA drive, Ubuntu apparently implements all HD drivers as
part of the SCSI code tree. It made sense that channel 0 master was
sda, channel 0 slave was sdb, and
Browser I have no clue.

This is a normal condition.
As far as the ghosting showing up in Gnome's File Browser I have no
clue.
