At first blush, I would wonder the effect as being a result of micro-fractures in the carbon structure. Increasing voltage would (could) change the current path and result in many different paths, additionally being impacted by thermal changes cased by the current flow. This experiment have many variables and many dependant variables. Any EE has seen the effect in stressed resistors.

Naudin's scope shots show the resistance is not linear relative to resistance current. That would be a very interesting effect to study. Regards, Paul Lowrance
