flasher weirdness

I've been chasing some electrical weirdness in my '78.
My turn signals work just fine, as long as no other lights are on - but if the reverse lights are on, the reverse light and the brake light alternate flashing, and the turn signal lamp is on but only very dimly. This happens only when the left turn signal is on.
It also exhibits similar behavior when the brake lights are on, and is exacerbated when the parking lights or headlamps/parking lights are on.
Any ideas? I thought I had read somwhere that a bad ground on the taillight assembly would cause this, but I went the grounded bolts and bolt holes with sandpaper, and I think they're getting good contact.
Cold it be a poor connection in one off the other lighting circuits (like brake lights) that is allowing some strange circuit to be formed? Or is it more likely that it's my flasher unit?
Another strange flasher thing - when the car is off, the flasher lamp on the instrument panel glows very dimly - only visible at night.
Any leads would be helpful.
thanks,
Rowan
