Have you looked at the various flameproof resistor offerings? Flameproof
types are frequently used as a fusible element - it's by virtue of the fact
that they abruptly go open-circuit under overload, that they fail to reach
smoke / ignition temperature.
Check some datsheets and see what kind of specs they publish for that
service.. might be an ideal way to go.

No, sorry, but Farnell do:
those safety

It appears Digikey do them, but only to special order with a large

minimum order quantity
Also check Mouser. I don't know about 1W, but I use a 10W Ohmite fusible
(or
at least flame-proof) resistor.
That is the 40J25RE, and I get them from Digi-Key.
