Not necessarily. Remember that power is I squared R, and if R is
sufficiently large, I falls to the point that power is small (because
it's falling twice as fast as R increases). OTOH, that R is undesired
when using the core in a real transformer (that is, the core carries all
of the flux for the differential power). I know you know this, Rick, but
this is for others on the reflector who may not.

The confusion of the Z = R + jX model as you described is why I
measure ferrites using the Y = G + jB model.  Some network analyzers
can display directly in this format.  In this case, G describes
the losses in a common mode choke, and 1/G is a figure
of merit. The G value I measured on Fair-Rite #43 was smaller than the G value on competitors versions. Hope this clears up the
confusion.
