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.
