...or I could test 3 other grounded circuits in the same house and see
what that same meter reads.
In all three cases the meter reads:
115V between hot and neutral
115V between hot and ground lug
0V between neutral and ground lug
I'm guessing the meter's fine and the problem is with the circuit.

The meter is fine, it is the meter operator.

Many digital meters will not load a circuit so that even the smallest
ammount of induced voltage will show up. *Most do not understand this.
That is why you are seeing such oddball voltages on the circuit.

With a lamp plugged into the same GFCI, and turned on, I get the same
"oddball" readings at the GFCI.

With no load on 2 other circuits that I tested, I get the expected
readings of 0 between ground and neutral, 115V between hot and ground.

Fluke 75 multimeter.

Still think it's operator error?
