My explanative suggestion is the following: the transient charging current is not a slow drift current of only microns per second that flows through the bulk of the wire. Instead, it is a current of very fast electrons that flows over the surface of the wire, and parallel to the wire axis. This transient charging current is independent of the exact resistance value of the material (except that the material must have some conductivity), since it flows outside the wire along its surface.
