I believe it will protect you from shock too since the GFCI will still be able to detect the difference in current going in and out. Now I'm curious, I'll look into this when I have time. I haven't...

FYI non-contact voltage testers can and do go bad. Always start a session of use with a test to verify your tester is functional before relying on its readout.
