This does not make any sense and is stated nowhere in the rules.
Being turned does not have any bearing on whether or not a runner is in the
safehouse. A runner is not in the safehouse if he is on a shadowrun or is
currently engaged in the use of a card that takes him out of the safehouse
(i.e - Z-zone, wanted, bar fight, etc.)

As an example, lets say that I turn Tempest to inflict 1
armor-piercing damage on all runners in play during my Legwork phase. On my
opponent's turn he riots. I assign the 2 damage to all of my runners as
appropriate. He then riots again. Even though Tempest is tapped she is
unquesionably currently in my safehouse. I turn Knuckles (who is untapped
in my safehouse) at this point to take the 2 damage meant for Tempest and
she remains alive.
