In this case I have an American passport. My Dad is British and registered my birth with the British Consulate before I was one year old (in 1988). I am leaving for the UK and will use my US passport for re-entering the USA. But I would prefer to use my UK passport to enter the UK so I can work there. But it won't have any stamps in it. This could cause questions at US immigration (perhaps)

The US does not have any laws against dual citizenship. This page appears to be full of dire warnings, but the truth is that to lose US citizenship you perform your "expatriating act," as the page says, "with the intention to relinquish U.S. citizenship."

The only law you need to be careful of is that you must enter and leave the US using your US passport. There is no reason for you to show your UK passport to US CPB. And they also won't care as long as you have a valid US passport

Well, it says on Wikipedia that the US recognizes multiple citizenship, so I don't see why simply possessing another passport would be a problem. As for travelling, I don't know.

no, you will be fine. Having both is a luxury few have but it saves a lot of hassle at both ends.
