Please provide the model number of the Fluke instrument, and which setting are you using. I need to understand what you are using to test to be able to understand what you are testing and the results.

Please explain how you get voltage on neutral to ground on different circuits?

Where are you located?

What is the mains voltage?

Suggestion:

Please make absolutely certain that your meter is set to read AC voltage and not OHMS.

All of the Fluke meters I have ever used "Beeped" to warn the user that there is a zero Ohms (short) condition present. Then the "0" is posted to the LCD.
