Repeating your statement still doesn't explain how you could have a massive fault current flowing through that resistor. And it is not possible in bentsnake scenario of a shorted transformer.

It could (only) happen if the transformer in the source equipment shorted and it did not have its own PE connection, which is the case with many low powered audio equipment.
