I use them with no issues that I know of.

Perhaps someone else has the mathematical and physical explanation.

I measured a few with my LC meter in the L mode and was unable to measure
any L.

are metal film resistors wirewound or not? I've been trying to find this

out. Someone who I know says they're not so are suitable for RF but Maplin
catalog seems to say they are.

someone please help!

Just a simple explanation. Not a comprehensive review. I do not know what
meter, nor the circuit.

Your depending on the circuit in your meter.
Some Inductance measurement circuits need the resistive component to be
canceled out (balanced by a bridge) to read the inductance. It doesn't mean it
has no inductance, only that he resistance values is much higher than the
reactance of the inductor. Therefore the meter sees the resistance only.

To make it even worse, not all MF resistors are inductive.
