I think it's misleading to call the method thread-safe.
Adding volatile/synch. merely ensures that the new value is published correctly.
The use of a mutable static variable means that the method cannot
really be considered thread-safe. Two independent threads cannot - in
general - both use the set method and still be assured of predictable
behaviour.
Reworded.
