The other scenario is the sprung element of the fuse folder becomes 'softened' by the heat and no longer grips the fuse well resulting in a loss of contact now and then.

Interesting. I have seen a few cases of fuse box melt-down on motorcycles. I always thought it was due to high resistance because of dirty contacts but this points to another possible reason. A fuse that has too low a rating.
