I donmt believe the common testers would catch such a miss wiring.

worse its plain unsafe....

incidently the home inspector who did this home didnt catch it

I've found over the recent years a particular inspector will pay more
attention/interest to things related to his trade from which he came.
The last inspector I had found one thing I had kept to myself, not
saying a word to the real estate agent, spouse or anyone. This
inspector found it, but I was ready to deal with it.
