I have my rig plugged into my garage 15 amp circuit using adapters to make the connection and there is another outlet on the other side of the garage circuit present on an exterior wall that is GFCI capable and I am not having any problems like you described. I've done this for over 5 years.
Another thing to verify is there is only ONE GFCI outlet on the circuit. I have two garage circuits and each one has a single GFCI outlet throughout the circuit.
I think H.John Kohl has something there on the bad GFCI outlet. I have had at least two GFCI outlets "go bad" on me over the years and when they were replaced, one didn't look like it had been connected correctly and the other one was just plain bad and wouldn't ever reset. Replacing each one corrected the problems. I think they sound like a great safety idea, but they break often enough as others have told me as well.
