Non-switching of the neutral is generally permitted, as long as L1 & L2 is switched.

NOTE The sequence I have labled the "T" terminals is T2 | T1 | T3 I think you assumed T1 | T2 | T3
Output | Forward | Reverse | Motor input
T2 | -120 | -120 | 5
T1 | -120 | +120 | P1
T3 | +120 | -120 | 4
Neutral: 0 | 0 | 8
This leaves neutral connected to the winding when the motor is stopped which is reasonably safe but may not conform to regulations in the USA. If you connect motor terminal 8 to motor terminals 2 & 3 (Centre point of main winding.) then in the stop position the motor windings are not connected to any supply wire. This point will be at about neutral potential.
The schematic you posted in post #19 is the standard one for capacitor start capacitor run. It is the dual voltage motor that I was not familiar with. I imagined the start winding would be in parallel for low voltage and in series for high voltage.
