Surely an infinite measurement means that the coil inside the pickup is actually broken and not SHORTING. Infinite means open circuit or EXTREMELY HIGH resistance when using an Ohmeter.

Yes, by the "textbook definition", you're correct. However, even a break can be intermittent in the sense that the link wires joining the coil have lost their insulation, lost their solder joint, are possibly unraveling and/or are leaning on the inside of the can. Hence, the possibility of shorting in this scenario remains.

Yeah, the construction of that pickup must be faulty!
