Very strange, usualy the light will come on when the engine is at idle, and go off at higher revs.
Got me stumped.
Being a Suby, is there anything that would draw more power when revs increase? A loose wire maybe???
Can you get a reading of current and volts from the alternator to get some better info?
Just a guess.

If all else fails, take it down to your nearest auto electrician and ask him to take a look at it.
