But, as Jonathan pointed out, it fails if 'Open "safe" files after downloading" is off.

No, this is simply not true. Automatic opening .dmg files fetched using the HTTP protocol is stopped when you switch off the 'Open "safe" files...' option but the auto-mounting of disk:... URLs is not. These disk:... URLs are handled by the finder and don't show up in the Safari downloads window. The disk image is put in a temporary location and removed once ejected.
