ELECTRICAL CONUNDRUM

I have a weird electrical conundrum.

One correction, the outlet tester read Hot/Ground Reverse, not Hot/Neutral reverse.



Clarification: Hot/Ground reverse only happens when the bulb is in when the 1 switches are in the named positions.  It happens any time regardless of switch position if I plug in a light, for example.

The outlet tester doesn't seem to pull enough amperage to create the fault though, just enough to light the LEDs.  Same thing if I plug in a power strip, if it's empty it'll light up the off/reset switch, but if I plug a light into the power strip then the off/reset switch light goes off and the outlet reverses
