It's physically impossible for the rifle to fire unless the bolt is charged, the trigger is dead and the hammer is forward, if anything it's actually safer than having the bolt charged and the safety on as mechanical safeties can fail like any other movable device, and it's a lot harder to accidentally pull the charging handle all the way back than to flick the safety 90 degrees.
Its also not possible to engage the safety when in this position. Add to the fact that it was on my (large) property and pointing down range with only a hill in the way I'd say it was ok.
I agree with what you say, but none of that is implied by the photograph,to the anti shooting brigade they see it totally different.
To be honest I am bit of a safety monster around guns as I want to be able to go home after every event, not for my family to get a call that someone had a ND.

So, in effect its in the "made safe" condition. No problem.
As has been said, safety off because you cannot put it on when hammer down.
Last week at GR championships with Vepr12, RO kept asking me to insert flag and apply safety. On an AK platform its either or.

Most of the new parts were shipped from the US by a friend of mine who lives in NH, including the bolt release. I think (don't quote me) that he ordered most of the parts from:
