Hi TinselKoala,
In your video2 you got some troubles to use current transformer(CT). It seem that you confound "current to voltage transformer" and "current to current transformer". Actually they are the same, the difference is in the load. In your video2, the "load" is the 1Mohm probe, so you have the first transformer with a strong voltage and the phase shift of near 90°.
To transform your tranformer in a "current to current transformer" with a very little phase shift, you need to put a very low resistor in parallel with the secondary, specialy with a ferrite tor as core.
If you call Zp the extra serial load with the transmitting air coil due to the CT, n=Np/Ns and R the resistor on the secondary, then:
               Zp= n²*R
Due to n², you need to keep R very low!
(In fact, you can even C/C the secondary to disconnect fictitiously the CT)...

May be these links can help you,
1) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer
2) http://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/transformer/current-transformer.html
, look the Current Transformer Example No1.
3) Or http://www.cigre.nl/media/47010/arvind_srinivasan.pdf, see Transformer Loading (1) and (2) at the very begining.
And on radio frequency CT:

Can-you send me some more information on your CT?

Thanks for the links, it is very useful to have them all in one place.
The QEG people have shown the use of the Stangenes current transformer, I think this one:
http://electricalproducts.stangenes.com/item/current-transformers/wide-band-current-transformers/0-5-0-1w#Specifications
and I believe this to be a straight current-to-voltage type without any electronics inside. At least the ones I have used before, from a different maker but otherwise looking the same and with same specs, were current-to-voltage. I think that this will produce the 90 degree phase shift in the measurement, but I'm not sure, and that's what I'm trying to find out. My own resources are very limited and I can't just go and buy the same transformer, although one would come in very handy in my lab. So I'm using what I've got and what I can make.
The item I used in the latest video and which I tested in the "Phase 2 video" is the coil section, without ferrite core of course, of a "loopstick variable inductor" that is wound with one continuous winding in two sections of very fine Litz wire wound in a herringbone kind of pattern.  Without the core it measures about 2  milliHenry on my meter and with the core all the way in it is about 9 mH. I am not using the core. It gives a good voltage signal as you can see in the "Part 2" latest video and this signal is phase-shifted 90 degrees... or I am making lots of real FE, one or the other! 
This loopstick sense coil doesn't seem to disturb the output of the circuit or the voltage across the primary coil.

The QEG people have also spoken of a Fluke current clamp something like this:
http://www.transcat.com/Catalog/productdetail.aspx?itemnum=I310S&utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&gclid=CMvG-oLi4r8CFZTm7AodxnIAug
and I have no idea about what artifacts it might introduce into a measurement. I'd sure like to own one though.

Thanks again for the links and for your analysis. Every little bit helps. I sure wish we could get some kind of action from the "real" QEG builders. It's like they are in some fantasy world, or are actors in a movie, or something, completely isolated from reality.

The principles are good, but the specific clamps are directed at much higher frequencies than in TinselKoala's application.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. Those are like 10Mhz up, and I'm working at 300 kHz or so. Although I have a 5 MHz system in the works for another purpose.
