Anybody have a thought. on this?

The SVX flasher appears to be a bimetal thermal relay. Although because there is no obvious change in the flashing rate, between hazard and turn signals, this makes one suspect a non current sensitive device.
The turn signal switch provides direct individual circuits to the turn lights. The hazard switch a second separate set of parallel circuits and not a changeover arrangement.
The hazard switch connects the flasher to alternatively, an only ignition on fused circuit, when in the off position and a direct fused circuit, when in the on position. This could be the circuit and set of hazard switch contacts to most likely have an effect.
Switching to the hazard lights would have doubled the load on the flasher and could have overridden/cleared an intermittent fault within the flasher and I would bet on a faulty flasher unit as the most likely cause of your problem.
