Use a real light, not a test light. It should work fine. Using a low
resistance load will give all kinds of odd readings, including all those
you
noted.

Use a 100/60 watt bulb, say, as a test light. Probably work fine?
Anything with electronics in it may give a reading on a meter or
neon cos a small amount of electricity 'sort of' leaks through
the circuitry.
An old fashioned on/off switch will work fine becaus it is just
that. On OR off!
BTW check to see if the dimmers (which usually contain electronic
components) can cause radio/TV/audio system interference or
noise. Some can do so. Especially if entertainment equipment is
on the same or nearby circuits to those equpped with certain
types of dimmers!
Just an idea.
