Now here's a swag: Bad motor mount letting engine lean to one side shorting bad spark plug wires...

Thanks for the suggestions Tony and Dave. Having now spent an afternoon "under the hood" I can report that the culprit was the connector on the distributor body (I assume from the hall effect points?). The Distributor mounted bit had come off and was dangling on its wires. Once the cable insulation got hot and pliable, left hand turns caused the whole thing to move and short out.

Thanks for reporting your results.
That is a fairly common problem on the I5s.
