I'm going to post prior to tests-- Thanks to all for suggestions, here's my plan.
Having soaked the ignition switch with WD-40 on Sunday to no good effect, I'll skip that step this evening.
I'll go out and give the solenoid a good firm whack with a BFH, reconnect the battery and see if that cured what ails it.
If not (i.e., if it still acts as if hot-wired, I'll give the solenoid a whack while it's cranking-- it may be more vulnerable to breaking the inadvertantly (spot)welded contacts under load.
If not then I'll disconnect the small wire to see if I can localize fault to ign switch. Will post back later, wish me luck!
