I'm somewhat skeptical of the explanation with respect to inductive or
capacitive coupling (though possible under just the right - or wrong -
conditions)


In the UK, it's common to drill holes in floor joists and run several
circuits through them, including lighting (6A) and ring (32A) circuits.
Thus a long length of ring main cable running alongside the lighting
circuit in question would easily be sufficient to induce some current
flow in the lighting circuit.


Not mA worth though.
