Intermittently, though? That's odd, if it was the inductance, wouldn't it be 100% of the time? Maybe they were defective or something. Internal short?

I would guess so. You cant use WW resistors to sub in
many places especially high freqs. Also those resistors are
being used for fuses for the STK's. Going to 5W risks
damage to usually the FBT if ( when) the STK shorts again.
The only time to use them is in a quick test or a smoke test.
