This could be due to the strange configuration, especially the central
heating system. This is connected to the gas pipe that carries the aerial
current to earth. But that system is also capacitively and inductively
coupled to the house wiring which in turn has its own capacitance to earth..

I also noticed the irregularities but they remained after repeated
measurements, so they are really there.

Yes, I did subtract the coil resistance.
