I think that's a different issue - using a  GFI outlet shouldn't be a
problem unless the GFI is electronic and confused by RF. You shouldn't
have a current imbalance on the mains input (unless you have a lot of
mains filters)
I would think a GFI neon would sense current imbalance on the HV
_output_, and would probably be very confused by a TC load.
