I know this can happen at shutdown if the root filesystem is on raid, as the root filesystem never gets unmounted, so raid shuts down while buffers could be in use (read-only). This is safe. But are you getting "invalidate: busy buffer" in a different context? If you, could you please give details. There is a good chance that it is safe, but I would like to know.
