Is P=NP relative to the halting oracle?

Motivation: I'm aware that there are computable oracles making the relativized version of $\mathbf{P}=\mathbf{NP}$ true or false, and in fact quite easy either way (see Papadimitriou, Computational Complexity … (1994), theorems 14.4 and 14.5, neither proof seems to adapt here), but I'm confused as to what happens when we relativize the theory of complexity to non-computable oracles (cross-links to this question …

What can we do with a generic oracle (as opposed to a random one)?

In other words, “if $L$ is computable by a non-null set of oracles, then it is computable”. … In other words, “if $L$ is computable by a non-meager set of oracles, then it is computable”. …
