YES IT CAN!

First of all, that's what fuses are for and the design I proposed was,
of course, fused.

Secondly, if the transformer shorts from primary to secondary it isn't
going to work it ANY configuration. The primary isn't normally run at
ground and the secondaries are almost always ground referenced. I'd
rather see it quickly blow some fuses than sit there and overheat due to
shorted windings.

In any case there is nothing keeping anyone from using an isolation
transformer.
