" Any thoughts?"
The thought of wrapping resistance with potentially flammable material doesn't set well with me.
In normal operation, capacitors generally do not get warm, . . . but we know that current passing through a resistance does create a certain amount heat, as a natural occurrence. So the next question becomes , "How much more heat could the polystyrene take before creating an unacceptable hazard over, say, a naked power resistor? 
Just a thought.
