Don't know exactly, but if res is low between battery + contact and case
and/or between battery + and - without battery inserted something could
be fishy. Haven't checked, though and I'm not too much into
electronics. It's just that slightly shifted (or suplus) board
stand-offs can cause anything from small erratic currents up to board
incineration.
Your friend in measuring could be the diode-check setting if your
multimeter has one (beep on very low res). If that's going off between
the measuring points mentioned, the battery is likely shorted.
