Seems kind of safe, but you are aware that there might be a problem. If the memory manager kicks in anywhere in that code sequence, or if a launch code comes in, or ...... (insert any number of other things here), you could be hosed. Why not just code it to make sure there are no problems? That seems like the more prudent thing to do.
