why does GFCIs sense high frequency current?

Because no-one thought to check that they didn't. You will understand that for power system people, 2.4 kHz is a 'high frequency' and the upper limit of the EM spectrum is 9 kHz. (;-)

To be fair, I understand that it's far from obvious that this high-frequency sensitivity should occur, but it does.
