Can anyone explain under what conditions that would that return "False"?
It returns "True" for me, even when Safari is just idling in the background (i.e, not the active application).

True. I misinterpreted the dictionary.
I've fixed it. Compile this as a Stay Open application ...

on idle
tell application "System Events"
if not (exists process "Safari") then return 1
set safariFrontmost to frontmost of process "Safari"
end tell
if safariFrontmost then beep
return 1
end idle

A quick experiment with Safari will confirm that this works correctly.
