Am assuming both screws had something connected to them and somehow there was a ground on one of the terminals. If there was only the remote switch connected and a bare terminal I can't tell you how it operated without a ground unless someone did something internally.
For anyone who is interested, here is the schematic of the solenoid. The ground in the illustration they show going to the one screw terminal for the relay is not there in actual fact. Just the two screws exiting via holes in rubber bushings to isolate them from the sheet metal housing. There has to be a wire providing a ground either thru the generator if a stock 356 install or directly if the safety circuit has been eliminated per a service letter article. .
They used the same setup on the 356 from shortly after the acc switch appeared or at the start of the 42 models. When that engine was discontinued it appears they still used the same solenoid operation on the senior 51 and 52 models.

HH56, I never grounded the other terminal to use a jumper switch to activate the starter.
