Jeffrey is right (as usual!) that mains can get through things that a low-voltage meter or continuity tester show being o/c.

On my AC/DC radios I always by-pass the neutral side of the switch anyway as the last thing you want is for that to be open and the live side closed. This means I only need one working pole.
