Beyond the question of if it was a safety or not, I think this is an intentional new wrinkle in BB's gameplan (unless I'm missing other teams doing it all the time) just to make it hard on the opposing team. Whether it's the spin from a left-footed punter, choosing the wind at the coin flip, having the opposing D ready at the drop off a hat to sub all 11 players on 4th and 2, or now expecting line drive bouncing kickoffs, it has to be nerve wracking to coach/play against the man. Seriously, as a returner, would you want to be worried about catching knuckleballs every KO? Plus, I'm pretty sure Ghost can kick it into the stands just about every time if that was his MO.
There's something to be said for making the other team expend as much emotional energy as possible.
