At a guess, a high resistance joint. The extra resistance is limiting the current.

If it's affecting multiple blinkers I would suspect the problem is on the supply side, rather than earth.

To locate the problem, try to measure the voltage on both sides of the globe. This could be a problem with a digital meter, as it may not respond fast enough - in which case, you'll need either an analogue meter, or a more expensive digital with a built-in bar-graph display.
