OK, here's another guess...there were wirenuts in the panel causing the problem.

I know, I know... It was wired with NM with a SEU feeder.
I'm gonna guess that the wires installed in the conduits that were supported with tywraps, caused the tape to fall off of the wirenuts, which resulted in a loose neutral connection on the receptacles that were installed upside down (ground down).
Either that or maybe no EGC on the GFI's, I'm not really sure.

You were close, it was actually a freezer plugged into a gfci that caused the problem.

I was gonna say it had something to do with all the romex cables entering the panel through one plastic bushing, but it seemed so obvious it couldn't possibly be the answer

As I recall, there were several old-fashioned metal NM connectors. Mostly 3/8", but a couple 3/4" ones. This was before the plastic push-in jobs became available.
