When both points are closed, all 3 wires are commoned
together by the points inside the distributor. This was
my point - when the set with the central wire opens,
the other wire no longer contacts the central wire, so
the ECU *may* think the other contact has openened too.

For the technically minded Brad Anders' site has a very
detailed analysis of the 2l Porsche ECU.
