All the options are documented, and using one configuration option to over-ride another is also documented. However, using a configuration option to over-ride a hard-coded setting from Conf.pm, is definitely NOT documented. The fact that it depends on the specific, and undocumented, way the developers chose to implement adding the header for report_safe 0 makes it a cheat. I wouldn't say it's a particularly egregious cheat, but it's certainly not documented. It's just taking advantage of the fact that the developers (sensibly) made use of existing functionality to do this.
