Try wiggling the ignition key around after starting the car and when the ABS light is stuck on. If wiggling the key turns the light off, there is a good change the ignition switch is at fault.

www.alloemvolvoparts.com has the switches for under $50. Good instructions on the replacement can be found on the www.volvospeed.com website. I plan to install a new one on my '96 later today to deal with the same intermittent symptoms you have described. In my case, wiggling the switch will turn the ABS light off, so I'm hopefull that this will be the fix.
