Standard ISO freewheel thread is 1.375" isn't it? Perhaps that's why they say it'll fuck the threads, since yours is 1.370". I don't know if that .005" will damage the threads - now personally I would screw it on by hand and if it feels at all like it's tight or binding, then I wouldn't do it.
I've also heard that some sprockets (EAI specifically) have plating that is thick enough to damage the Phil threads - perhaps that is what they're concerned about.
