That's just a bug in the RedHat app-defaults file. Note that the stock
XFree86 app-defaults file for XTerm doesn't modify the translations at
all, making this added entry a bit harder to get right. The fix is
correct and matches the app-defaults entry I use in my own XTerm
app-defaults file.

The fix is not only "safe", but "correct". I've been running with a
similar resource for some time (about 12 years). I suspect I would have
noticed any problems by now...
