I have seen this on well used equipment from time to time. Two things I have seen: A bad diode in the wiring harness (that is, if this particular unit has one) or what we call carbon tracking on the internal sliding components of the ignition switch allowing current flow regardless of switch position. Also moisture in the switch will allow current flow.

What would keep the battery from charging if the alternator is good on a 1989 camaro?
If you are 100% sure the alternator is good, then either the wiring or the battery are bad. If the battery has a dead cell it will not hold a charge. Disconnect the battery cables and clean the connections. Charge the battery with a battery charger, and then connect the cables. If the battery is over 3 years old, it is more than likely bad.
