I have four Henry amplifiers (2-KD-Classic, 2KD-5, 3K-A, and 3K-Classic-8877), and all of them have the resistor always-in-circuit, with the relay acting as a bypass. Likewise, my Drake L-4B , with the "Soft-key/Soft-start/Bias board" installed, also has the relay configured to bypass the always-in-circuit resistor.

So, on some (many) amplifiers, the designers did get it right.
