"So how does an isolation transformer isolate the operator, given that said operator must be assumed to be earthed because he or she will be reaching out to touch test gear, etc, or perhaps standing on the floor? Or am I confusing semantics?"
It depends how far you want to take it, it won't isolate you from earth but it will isolate you from live if the isolation hasn't been compromised, live and neutral feeding a load is a simple circuit, if your not part of it then no shock.
