It still sounds wrong: I mean, we say phrases like on the third beat -
not on the third pulse.
I'm not sure what we call the subdivisions, and a generic term for them
doesn't seem to be heard much. Thinking about it, I would probably just say

Compound meters have three beats per pulse: 6/8, 9/8, 6/4 (sometimes)...
I would have thought proper terminology would be three pulses per beat.
