Interesting, curious what are the rules when the Network boxes are around nodes.
It gets even worse when each part has it's own network box, you select everything and press L.
Also when doing layout up/down, expected to get some (uniform) gap between network boxes too (to keep the network box labels readable and not occluding each other).

I tend to avoid network boxes because of this problem with automatic layout. Instead, I use operator colors. Sometimes subnetworks, but they require diving in and out.
Perhaps if network boxes used the form of block grouping, that is already present in "compile" and "for" blocks, just with somewhat different decoration and with a label slapped onto it, they would be more useful.

I have exactly the same problem for many years, since they have been introduced. I have been quiet for too long :]
I am thinking about making my own Python wrapper around the layoutChildren() function.
- store all network boxes in a list
- delete all network boxes
- layoutChildren()
- recreate the network boxes
It is not that complicated to do, and quite tempting to have them layout fine.
