The Safari browser has not behaved as expected when the QuickTags are used. A post at http://www.alexking.org/blog/2006/08/15/safari-cursor-aware/ made me look into the fact that they may now work. I've tested and it now works as expected meaning the disabling code can be removed from admin-functions.
