Yes, yes and yes to all the potential problems. Phillystran under
tension is easily cut by a razor knife and a lighter can ignite the PVC jacket
- both really bad ideas.
The other reason to use EHS to the anchor is so that you can use a
Loos tension gauge to put the proper tension on the guy. The Loos won't work
on the oversize Phillystran jacket.
