Thanks to all for the replies. I don't think I picked a wrong value resistor (there are only 3 values of through-hole resistors in my box), so I'll go with the rogue tube explanation. The affected tube didn't glow any brighter, nor did it glow in a different color. Anyway, I cannot check the affected tube (I don't have the clock in question), I simply shipped a replacement tube to the customer.
