While I agree that contamination of the fluid is a concern, in this case
(rear brake cylinders on a TR3) the threads are not exposed to the
working fluid. So with care, you can put a little anti-seize on the
threads without getting it into the fluid.
And, I've seen more than a few TR3s where either the line or the bleed
screw (or both) is seized into the rear cylinder. Something about steel
and aluminum setting up a galvanic corrosion cell ... not to mention
being exposed to salt, water, etc., and being relatively far away from
most leaks.
