Fixed with <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/changeset/759> -- 
the introduction now says:

"The action required MAY be carried out by the user agent without 
interaction with the user if and only if the method used in the second 
request is is known to be "safe", as defined in Section 7.1.1."
