Lacerate applications that are wholly blocked still refresh/increase the stack. I haven't been able to systematically test whether the threat is still applied, nor seen any tests to that effect. If the block is mitigation in the same sense as dodge or parry, then it would make sense that the bonus initial threat isn't applied, but by the same reasoning, it doesn't make sense that the stack is refreshed.
