I just received sample 5 watt metal film  resistors from Mouser, as 
per the conversation with Carl.

The measured inductance of two 51 ohm resistors with nearly zero lead 
length was 47.1 nH and 49.3 nH. 

The measured reactance of two 100 ohm resistors was 43.5 nH and 44.0 
nH.

Both resistors are wound with about a five turn spiral of metal film 
inside the case. They are absolutely NOT non-inductive by any stretch 
of the imagination.

An A-B carbon comp resistor (100 ohm) measured 4.8 
nH.

Test frequency was 100 MHz.
