Should be fine, in fact the impedance of  the step-up transformer would add a 
little ballasting effect.
 
    I think your question should be, what's more  economical or easier to 
build: A ballast for the 480V side, or for the 240V  side? My guess would be to 
ballast it on the 480V side for half the current,  since your wire will 
probably be of the same insulation class either way. 
    It'll also be nice to have an isolating transformer  between the pig and 
your house as well.
