Superconducting transition is not the only misbehavior; carbon resistors have a
semimetal/semiconductor transition, and turn high-resistance when cold,
and metal-film resistors move VERY far from their nominal values when
cold. Platinum film RTDs work because they have resistance accurately
proportional to absolute temperature: resistance at 77k is about a quarter of
that at room temperature.

Depending on exactly what kind of diode it is, it will drop around 0.3
to 1.1 V or so. Without the diode, and with fresh batteries, maybe the
motor ran too fast for the application.

Most likely because the mechanism would bee damaged or desrtroted by revers rotation.
