Finally, an actual answer. So of the 18 watts of "reverse power",
11.52 watts is making it to the source to "engage in constructive
interference". Does any of it get dissipated in the source resistor,
or does it just slide through unscathed?


It never encounters the source resistor as it is re-reflected by
wave cancellation, not by an impedance discontinuity. I have a QEX
article coming soon that will explain the details.

The Journal of Irreproducible Results could also be persuaded to publish
that claim, Cecil. Any implication that almost half of Maxwell's
equations are superfluous should easily qualify as an irreproducible
result. :-)
