Maybe the Mac is the straw that breaks the camels back. You might have other leakages elsewhere (water heating is always a good one) that just fall below the threshold…and the Mac tips it over the GFCI? Way to check would be to disconnect / isolate earthing downstream of GFCI and try with Mac then.. also to measure the GFCI leakage current (electricians usually have the instrumentation to do so)

The fault only happens the instant the connector mates with the back of the mac. If I connect the cable into back first then plug it into the wall socket, there's no issue.
