An inadvertent bug in the compiler can be modeled as a compromise. So, as before, it depends on how you define “safe” in your model. In the case of Rust, the compiler is safe and is considered to be within the safety boundary.
Will the Rust compiler have bugs in practice? Of course. Do you - as a developer - have a different safety model than the Rust language (i.e., one that does not include the compiler)? If the answer is no, you can “ignore” compiler bugs from a safety perspective.
