I read through that bug log and I don't see why you say it is not safe as a general statement. There appears to be a specific interaction for when the user is using a remote network account server such as an LDAP server for account information. Most users will not be using an ldap or remote network based account server and will not trigger the problem reported in that bug log. Most users who have installed Debian will have local account information in /etc/passwd and never trigger the problem reported in that bug. Saying that it is not safe is too harsh by a long distance.
