Here is some educational reading:
NEMA GFCI (pdf). Its a power point presentation and look at page 9:
Quote:
Why GFCIs must be installed a certain way
• For Circuit Breaker GFCI:
To prevent constant tripping, MUST connect Load Neutral to circuit breaker neutral
terminal, NOT panelboard neutral.
• For Receptacle GFCI:
If line and load conductors are reversed, per 2010 edition UL 943, no power is
available at:
1.Face terminals or
2.Line terminals connected to downstream receptacles.

Well then, never mind: If line and load are reversed no power is available.
