It is even visible on nite launches

Perhaps it is for STS-123, but APU fire is certainly not visible on
any of the videotaped night launches that I've saved from over the
years.

Not STS-123. It isn't vehicle specific. It is due to atmospheric
conditions. EAFB is too dry for it to happen regularly.
It is visible on STS-97 launch

That's the sort of example I'm looking for. Obviously there must be
SOME logical explanation for it, if we can just see it.

Got a link (not one where we have to enter an "Inner Sanctum" to
download)?

It is on the link you posted on the other thread
.
