Yup, those really high resistance readings you are getting are equivalent to Over Limit readings on most meters.

I just came here to ask the same!  For reference, my Fluke 101 reads:
44: 5M (25M if I move the ground lead to the input buss wire)
45: 4.5M
47: 8M

I did get a lot of readings between 10-30M on ones with a * (no issue), but these threw me.

Bottlehead crew, your answer makes sense and glad to validate.

Thanks!
