The image below is from the Vishay datasheets. It says "Conceptual Illustration," but the actual construction is likely to be similar. Note that the path length is much longer than in a carbon comp resistor with a solid body. This additional length creates inductance. Also, you can believe that their claim regarding cancellation of mutual inductance cannot be taken at face value where RF is involved. At higher frequencies, these resistors will not behave like a straight piece of wire.
