Yes there would be a 'safe zone' at the runway threshold but mentioning FMC runway selection isn't relevant leading one [some] to believe EGPWS isn't runway specific.
I didn't say the FMC runway selection was relevent to EPGWS, I said it was completely irrelevent. Please don't chastise me for something I didn't say.

Can any of my fellow B744 pilots here imagine a crew going through 1000' for an autoland with G/S still armed in V/s without 'Land 3' staring them in the face ???
