"So the question is: is the resistance really supposed to be in the wire
itself, or is there a resistor moulded into the end plug perhaps? Seems
to me that if you wanted #14 wire with a constant non-neglegible
resistance per linear foot, it would have to be made of something other
than copper.

with carbon.
