I know this one is a something very rare, but I have seen this type of problem many times, each situation was different. One of the last places I, and a few others, checked was the actual battery and/or starter cable. In the two cases I remember, the cables all looked fine, but were corroded inside the insulation at one or the other end, usually the battery end. There were enough wires left to keep voltage to everything, but not enough to provide power to turn the starter. I know it is very weird, but might be something to check as a last resort. In my cases, replacing the cables cured the problem. The battery was staying charged, as the current that could get through was enough to keep it charged. What gave it away was that one of us just happened to touch the cable which was quite warm.
