I ran across a suggestion here at WW that linked domains with the same whois data is being used by Google to uncover "bad neighborhoods" and might lead to a penalty. Since I have bought many domains for my clients (with my contact data) and link my company to their websites as the developer it has me concerned. Any info on this matter?

Yes, we fully believe all the big search engines cross check whois info. What's worse, many believe they keep historical data and can track changes in whois info too.
