^ Possible... could also be a loose connection somewhere between the ignition and starter that just isn't making proper contact. On the other hand, you'd most likely hear a clicking then.

I've never heard of this issue before to be honest, I'd like to hear how it gets resolved

bad clutch pedal could result in not pushing the switch enough. or the switch itself.
