The starter posive lead connector is also a weak link. If you've tightened it up at all the insulation may have moved causing a direct ground to the starter housing which would cause the wires to heat instantly as you described. That would not cause things to seize but you may have two issues to deal with. Once it's apart, it's an obvious problem.

I'm pretty confident it's not the sprag. This is an all or none problem - now you see it, now you don't.
I do need to pull the plugs and open the l.side cover. If I figger it out I'll report back.
Thanks all.
