No brand, 1/4 amp 3AG fuses I checked ranged from 3.5 to 4.5 ohms.
These values are at the upper limit for a 250mA rated, fast acting fuse.
These 20mm "T" or delay fuses from Bussman are speced at 0.66 ohms for a
250mA size:

The specs show that R rises to 1 ohm at rated current.
** The cold value is 0.66 ohm - not 12 or 15 ohms.
Your figures are completely non-typical.
