\edef'ing is always a bit tricky, especially for some low level tex

for a solution, see previous post (or in addition to that:)

\def\safeedef#1#2%
   {\begingroup
    \the\everysafeexpanded\long\xdef\@@expanded{\noexpand#2}%
    \endgroup
    \let#1\@@expanded}

\def\safexdef#1#2%
   {\begingroup
    \the\everysafeexpanded\long\xdef\@@expanded{\noexpand#2}%
    \endgroup
    \global\let#1\@@expanded}
