I haven't tried that yet.  I agree that it should look the same if I
use the Eboni glossy neutral curve, but shouldn't I be using the one
for photo black now that I have PKN loaded?

Yup, this is what I did.  Any thoughts on why things came out so
much colder than with the curve?  Per MIS's instructions, I loaded
the ink in the order C, c, M, m, Y (well, m) (with the cart oriented
as if I were about to load it into the printer).  That is correct,
right?

Does that contrast advice apply to warm and neutral both?

Yup.
