That's safe. You aren't automatically lugging the engine just because you're at a low RPM. What I said earlier is still true. Very light throttle application without bogging the engine is fine. Also keep in mind that modern engines are less prone to lugging as much as older engines. The wonders of Variable Valve Timing, etc...
This car makes a very unique (read: terrible) tractor noise below 2,000 RPM when you're lugging it. That's a good audible way to tell that you're being too aggressive with the throttle at low RPMs.
