Yep, can just see that.

Zooming in, it looks like there's a faint whisker of wire just making the link

Very nice! I really had no idea that pressure could be that low in the outer jacket of this lamp type, which now makes me wonder if that outer atmosphere ever reaches 1 atm during operation as I had always assumed. Maybe the reason for a low-pressure outer fill is to ensure a reasonably homogeneous temperature distribution of the large glass burner during operation in the vertical position...

That being said, Crompton's MA lamps had an outer jacket at atmospheric pressure for sure due to their open design... which raises the question of their real performances compared to MA lamps with partially evacuated sealed jacket.

That's an interesting point about pressure change from cold to hot. Hopefully there isn't much of a chance for a discharge to occur in the jacket with a hot restart. Yes, I also have wondered about the efficiency of the Crompton MA lamp, although I have always question the design of this lamp, as it 'breaths' with thermal cycling creating a slow build up of deposits on the inside where that can't be removed. I can't imagine not sealing off this lamp saved much in manufacturing.
Ria, how much the resistor is hanging on depends on the viewing angle, I'm fairly sure at some angle it looks like a tiny break.

Dirt buildup was certainly a problem in those Crompton lamps. As for the risk of flashover in hot MA lamps, I wouldn't worry too much about that as the pressure increase would not result in any change of gas density in the sealed outer jacket, so the resulting (glow) discharge properties should remain quite constant.
