What exactly do you mean by "safe" in this context, and how could that be 
discovered or shown?

The user who wants to declare a variable to be positioned in FLASH (code 
memory), and obeys the deprecation warning, is now presumably recommended to 
write the PROGMEM keyword after the type, e.g. unsigned char PROGMEM.

How exactly could a macro expanding into the same sequence be unsafe?
