But you will get magnetic coupling. If you connect to one coil only, and tap the other one, you will get a sound because they are all within the same magnetic field. Its normal, but the connected coil will be stronger and you will still get a more single coil sound.

The resistance is pretty much spot on....16.2k across both coils in series...8.1k individually. And I think you are right....it appears that the unconnected coil is simply within the active field. Probably a function of the pickup itself...the Seymour Duncan hotrails is a small package with a lot of wire...lot of field across two rails that site about a centimeter apart.
I think all is cool...just need to wire it up and see what it sounds like in the guitar, and not worry about meter readings on my bench
