I'm not an expert on electrical wiring, but it seems to me that the
dangerous part is having a gfci where there is no ground - you would
assume it';s safer than it is. You wouldn't want an ungrounded outlet
there, would you? - the gfci will work the same way, for all intents
and purposes.

I believe code allows an ungrounded outlet to be replaced with a gfci.
The last gfci I bought came with "no equipment ground" stickers. I
assume these stickers are placed on an ungrounded gfci to alert the
user that there is no ground.

Grounded or not, it seems a gfci will trip anytime there is an
interruption to current flow.
