You are of course right. The durability of the varnish is questionable if twisted very tightly. I think Speltz recommends 3-4 twists per foot which shouldn't be enough to short IMO. I didn't plan on putting it in the vise+drill or anything. I believe they've moved to different materials for the most part, and am not sure what exactly the coating on mine is.
