My 2-cents worth here.......

If a .01 mfd capacitor was "safe", everyone would be using them, there would
be no X-10 coupler and that would be the end of it....

Are you really ready to trust your home to this method, just to save $40 or
so dollars?

I think the capacitor is well worth the time/expense to TEST, and VERIFY
that phase isolation is the problem you're having.... However, having
confirmed that as your problem, I think to continue to use the capacitor to
couple the AC phases, is seriously misguided and potentially dangerous.....
