I've had the same thing on my '87 9kT, once a couple of weeks ago and again last night. At first I thought maybe it just stalled or something as it's been idling a little low, but then I noticed all the dash lights going out too and that the trip computer reset to metric which normally only happens with a completely dead battery. Mine restarted fine using the battery.
In my experience about 75% of the time when something weird happens related to starting it's the battery, even if it seems improbable, so I would really try that first. A bad cell could give you low voltage which results in odd behavior, relays going nuts and the car not being able to start. Even with a rolling start if the voltage is just a bit low certain things won't power up. Aside from that your guesses of a bad ground or maybe the ignition switch sound good tome.
Let us know what you find, as I might be in the same boat!
