I have had problems with filament windings connected to sockets with carbon tracks.
I simply disconnected them and shrink wrapped them, and used a solid state rectifier.
If the disconnected leads don't have a short in the transformer, they won;t have HV on them. But a short in the transformer could leave them with HV pulses on them.

These problems have been on cramped B&W portable sets.
