Unlikely yes, but remember that people get prosecuted and convicted for some very bizarre things. I think the Daniel Cadden case is pretty good example of this:-

Eventually the right result was achieved, but that's after prosecution and conviction for the original offence, and then a lengthy appeal.
It is a grey area indeed, but "safely" pushing across an empty crossing is very unlikely to even get a reaction, let alone prosecution for a "grey area in the law".
