So a GFI doesn't respond to currents flowing through the ground circuit,

correct? If that's true, then it doesn't really matter what's going on in
the ground circuit - so long as the Ineutral < Ihot there's a fault
condition.. there's a current going somewhere it's not intended to flow, eh?
That's exactly it, and exactly the problem it's meant to
address.
