I can tell you one thing. There are a lot of people hooking these up
with 3 conductor plus ground cords either via a transfer switch or
suicide cord. And I bet almost none of them know whether the generator
has it's neutral bonded to ground or not. I'd venture a guess that
most of them are bonded to ground and that they work because they
are using a non-GFCI receptacle.

agree..

it is the GFI on the generator that makes it more complicated.

maybe thats another solution.

Rewire ONE outlet on the generator to be non GFI. Use that outlet only to feed the house and mark it clearly.

Use the other unmodified outlets with GFI for stand alone operation.

I think i like it.

A heck of a lot easier to just remove or switch the bond -- but some
people just HAVE to make life difficult
