My only problem with them is when you get an unanticipated sheet and you are in the midst of typing. If you happen to hit 'd' at the wrong time, you could lose data.

That's a good point, but can you think if any examples of where that could actually happen? Sheets usually only show up if the user issues a command. This is especially true of "Save/Don't Save". Unsolicited alerts that might appear during normal typing are generally regular dialogs.

If this is a real concern, I'm certain it could be addressed on a case-by-case basis. In the case of "Save/Don't Save", I think it should almost always be safe to allow unmodified keys.

In any case, if accepting unmodified keys doesn't seem like a good idea, at least accepting Command-modified keys when a sheet is active would be useful. They would just have to override any menu command with the same key. At the very least, "Save/Don't Save" seems to come up often enough that supporting them there would probably be a Good Thing.
