One possibility consistent with data and symptoms: Impaired conductivity in major electrical cable connection(s) excessively drops voltage and thus current through ignition coil when starter is activated but not when coasting to bump engine over to start it. This happens with coils built for nominal battery voltage without any in-series ballast resistor that is bypassed when starter is being used. Verify voltage to coil when and not when starter is being operated.
