I've never experienced that - I guess the set screws punch through the tin(?) coating, so the bare metal is exposed? But the bare metal is copper so I would've thought that shouldn't really be a problem?
You'll be pleased to know that the Duelund resistors have solid silver lead-out wires. :-))
And re. "Can a choke and resistor both be used without soldering, or is it one or the other?" ... ideally, as they are in series, yes you should solder the 2 items together in the middle. However, you could get away with instead using a "screw-cap" connector (that electricians use to connect like mains wires together).
