I don't like being forcibly dropped into an emergency shell to truncate pidfiles and other temporary files every time my tablet uncleanly shuts down.

This seems safe. The only thing that should be erased is the size. The removed inline data flag is remembered by the extent flag being absent. There is no data to lose because there are no extents/blocks, and the system.data attribute is already diagnosed missing.
