That could be a debatable point. Yes, Safari is an integral part of OS X, and 
can't even be deleted at the Finder level, but it's still an individual 
application, and it's that application that is providing the Service. Same as 
any other Service providing dot-app or dot-service package does.  

Anyway, here's an Apple Support Communities thread suggesting that running 
repair permissions worked for the user:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145421

My Google-Fu doesn't reveal a lot of other reports, suggesting it's not a 
widespread problem.

It doesn't appear that Apple offers Safari 6 as a stand alone download, and 
there's no Combo system updater yet (which often solves this sort of 
component-level problem), but if permission repair has no effect (which 
remember, you an perform from the Recovery partition) I'd still be looking at 
Safari.app as the culprit.
