1) Tester is broke
2) Your wiring isn't correct (neutral and hot switched) with respect to the other switch? - Reverse polarity.

ETA - Ah, I see the pics now. Still could be reverse polarity with the rest of the circuit. I was thinking it was a 3-way switch...

I know you said open neutral but I see no ground wire to the GFCI outlet. I understand what the person wiring that has accomplished, just not how I would have done it.

There appears to be another electrical mess in the background, too.
