I looked this up after the fact, and yes it appears that my meter was probably responding to the functioning resistance of that resistor as if there was no continuity. That was my bad, but at least now I know that's how that works.

Sorry for the late response, all. I was out of town over the weekend, but I'll run those voltage checks sometime today or, if not, Thursday and see where I am.
