It doesn't seem to me that having the duplex exactly in tune with a partial of the speaking length is the problem. Instead, I think that the wire, slightly flattened by pressure of the V-bar, carves itself a little saddle and then jingles around in it when played loudly. White glue remains a little bit pliable when dried out. I think that the drops on the wire just absorb some of the vibration. I imagine that bubble gum (yuk) would do the same thing.
