I'm kinda mystified too. My rig when on shore power feeds through the transfer relay which is in the normally deactivated position, when the generator is started, a time delay switch(solid state, non-adjustable) energizes the transfer relay coil and switches from shore to onboard. The relay is designed and set to brake both sides of shore power, pass through an non-contact phase and then close the generator line side supply to the converter. Note: line and common only, not earth or chassis grounds are involved. In trade terms it is a break before make relay.
I don't have any reference material with me but I bet that the AC + and -, are breaking and there is cross feed between the grounds. Too many times there is a problem discussed here when using a GFCI outlet at home on in a campground.
There are CEMF when the converter chargers energize and de energize and the spikes may be following nthe grounds.
