I dare say most pilots have continued an approach past the threshold in anticipation that the overworked controller will imminently blurt out your landing clearance. Nonetheless you should understand that the separation minima for a runway does not depend on whether you have touched down, it depends on whether you have passed the threshold.
Reading 3.10.3 and I didn't see any comment about requiring a go-around by the threshold. It mentions distance between the aircraft.
