Sorry, wrong answer, but my fault. I didn't formulate question correctly. Why do you see 60Vac from ground to neutral, or from ground to hot when measured with a digital volt meter? And why does an analog meter measure perhaps only 6V? The inverter is not bonded.
wa8yam comes close to correct answer.

Hmm, good question then. Unless, the inverter is using a center-tapped transformer with the hot and neutral as the secondary's ends and the ground as the secondary's center-tap. But wouldn't make sense WRT safety. I would think then due to the lack of bonding you've got induction between the lines, like WA8YAM said.
Now, is this a PSW or MSW inverter? If PSW, then both meters should read correctly. IF MSW, most multi-meters, at least digital, don't read the correct voltage, UNLESS they can read RMS voltage. Not sure about the analog.
