Pedantic: memory leaks are memory-safe, despite generally being undesirable.



You're totally right, but yeah, I tend to roll it in to the same category since I consider the denial of service associated with memory leaks to be as bad as stricter memory unsafety. (And to be very pedantic I said 'memory management safety', not just 'memory safety').
