Well....we can infer that since with them it is 15nF each, there is no other capacitive source.

Stupid question, the chassis is floating, right? You do not have it connected to Earth GND? ( Center pin in the outlet). And it is not situated on a gnd-ed conductive surface?

There is a parasitic capacitance of the xfmr to the chassis but it should be fairly small.

I would remove the Y-caps and measure the leakage current. If it is small, the question is then largely theoretical.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
