I believe that the discussion regarding bypassing of resistor for increased spark at start is correct.
From the standpoint of a DC circuit..from ground through points, coil, resistor, switch to battery the placement of resistor would not matter.
But another thing to consider is the condenser in parallel with the points. The purpose of the condenser is to provide a low impedance return path to ground for energy stored in the coil when points open. To put the resistor between the coil and points\condenser would reduce efficiency of condenser and could give defective condenser symptoms.
