I'd be very surprised if there is any difference at even high auto-x speeds. Perhaps a bag that's designed to deploy to save a race driver in a 200mph impact would be a bit more dangerous, but I'm going to have to agree w/ everyone that's making the apples/oranges argument. F1 research in this case is not applicable enough to make a rule change.
Besides, if your helmet is so loose that the airbag can exert a focused force on your jaw via the helmet, you've got fitment issues that are greater than your airbag issues.
