I've noticed that Google SafeSearch often filters images that should not be filtered - this is especially true since the "off - moderate - strict" options were removed, and replaced with a simple "on/off" switch. Since this change was implemented, I've noticed that many inoffensive images have been filtered. Is there any way to report non-offensive images that are filtered by SafeSearch (so that these false positives can be resolved)?

I would link to the "safe" and "unsafe" image results (for comparison) if I could, but I'm not sure if that's allowed here. –  Anderson Green Dec 24 '12 at 2:53

Use the Google Feedback tool as shown here and report to Google regarding the inoffensive image being filtered. I believe there is a mechanism on their side to check if an image is being filtered by SafeSearch.
