John,

I have no doubt that would work but it shouldn't be necessary cutting an imperial thread pitch with an imperial lead screw. I've never kept the half nuts engaged while cutting threads with this lathe unless I'm cutting a metric thread. The perplexing part is that I've cut this exact thread before with no problems. I'll go ahead and try keeping the half nuts engaged. I'll be even more perplexed if that doesn't work.
