Yes, the cybermaster touch sensors have resistors in
parallel to the switch, while the RIS touch sensor doesn't.
The cybermaster uses the resistors to find out which touch
sensor is connected to which switch.  If you put them in
_series_ and use raw mode you can have three distinguishable
touch sensors on one input of the RCX.

Cool. If you connect one sensor to each input on the RCX it can be
programmed to figure out what goes where itself. Excelent for modular
robots with a switch type 1 in an arm, type 2 in a bumper and so on.
The robot can figure out itself how many arms and bumpers
it has.

That's basically what cybermaster does.  Among other things
it contains a tank with three different tools that you can
mount on it, though only one at a time.  The tools are
identified by their sensor.

Has anyone measured the resistances?

Yes, but I keep forgetting them.  They are

white - 15kOhm
red - 12kOhm
yellow - 10kOhm
