Here is an ignorant question: I'm playing around with nut plates for the

first time and notice that the screw does not easily thread all the way

through. The last few threads on the nut plate are

tight/distorted/out-of-round/something and it takes a little effort to turn

the screw all the way through. I've noticed this on a regular and a floating

nut plate. Is this done intentionally to provide a degree of locking?

Yes. Nutplates are, in essence, high heat locknuts.

As you have already read, the bottom threads provide a very firm locking.  I 

couldn't even get a screw through without stripping the slot in the screw 

head, so I ran a tap into each of the nut plates a little ways until they 

loosened up enough to get the screw through.  Be careful doing that however, 

because if the tap goes in too far the nut plate gets too loose to be 

secure.

To make it easier to screw the screws into the  nutplates, use Boelube. That way you won't have to loosen the threads with a  tap.
