I wouldn't blame Magnepan too much for lack of an explanation. Fuses are just not an optimum solution for this application.
This isn't the first time the ribbon protected the fuse and it won't be the last. :)
The right set of transient conditions can easily create a situation where the fuse element can not heat/react fast enough.
There are better solutions for this issue nowadays....resettable poly-switch being one....but Magnepan seems slow to adopt something else.
