Him and I have known each other over 25 years, and have worked on a lot of cars together. We've ran into a lot of different problems, but this one has been the most difficult by far we've ran into.

That really sucks.
Does it do that nonsense 100% of the time? If you try and rotate the motor a little before you trigger it each time, does it maybe change anything? How about the orientation of the starter motor in the test fixture versus the engine bay?
The wires getting hot, together with the huge drop in voltage across the terminals, say short circuit.
Pull that sucker apart and get eyes on the commutator & windings.
