There are no reflections at the source so the reflected
energy flows through the source resistor. There is no
interference to redistribute any energy. There is no
other place for the reflected energy to go.

That is the conundrum, isn't it?

And yet the analysis of instantaneous energy flows definitely
shows that the reflected energy is not the energy being dissipated
in the source resistor.

Your analysis seems to be flawed. You are adding average
power terms to instantaneous power terms which is mixing
apples and oranges.
