There is no problem with using a three pronged grounding plug for the way you are using it. The problem comes up when the grounding plug wire is connected to a metal part of the transformer - a big no-no. Just cut it and leave it not touching anything.
I disagree - a polarized plug could be utilized for the same purpose and NOT give the false impression of grounding. I'll concede for a home user who did it them self, "whatever". A true professional would never ever consider that as acceptable.
