This does seem pretty weird. Can you please tell when you jumped from red to brown and from red to purple, was that with the plug connected to the ignition switch, or unplugged from the back of the ignition switch?
Was the pushbutton start system something added on and the key switch remained connected, or was the key switch completely removed when the pushbutton controller was added?
I see the brown and purple wire connections are next to each other on the connector that plugs into the key switch. I suppose it would be possible for a short in the connector between those 2 terminals, or in the switch. Have a really close look at that connector.
