You may get more authoritative answers, but I would start looking for an intermittent short circuit in the vicinity of the ignition switch.
A look through the wiring diagram should tell you if there is any other failure mode that might allow the engine to continue to run, even though you have turned the (new) switch off.
...just a guess, but I can almost visualize a melted insulator allowing an intermittent short between 2 wires in the cluster that attaches to the switch prongs. HTH, s
