"Today, I found that it will also start immediately if the ignition switch is moved to 'ON' while the starter is engaged."
This is a mystery to me. Any electrical gurus want to explain this? Starter is still cranking, still pulling down voltage available to the ignition circuit. Dirty ignition switch making better contact while transitioning from off to on?
