Do you mean a low-resistance reading between chassis-ground and red coil-wires when plugged in? And open-circuit/no reading when bar-switch unplugged? Then yes, somehow, the power-wires from switch is connected to chassis-ground. You may need to disassemble switch-housing to inspect. I don't think there's any ground-wires in there, so perhaps wires inside are shorted to handlebar itself.
