Are any of those safety guarantees important to a crypto project, though? Even heartbleed wasn't a "buffer overrun" in the memory safety sense of that word: the client was asking for and receiving the contents of memory that the server had every right, from a safety standpoint, to read from.

Absolutely. You're confusing Heartbleed and Tedbleed.
