Failure of a gold or silver resistor won't burn out the fan motor. Resistors blow all the time, but it would need something more serious to burn out the fan motor. Do you mean possible failure through brush wear? It could happen if the high speed was forever on through relay points fusion for example. Or the fan blades being fouled for some reason. As you note, 2-speed motor failure is rather rare.
