Don't know the answer to that, so I will give you a bump.
My family has an old passed down icing recipe that calls for eggs, and of course icing isn't cooked. I don't know, I mean...it doesn't sound right to me, but no one in my family has ever gotten sick from the icing and it's been about 100 years now. I know there are a lot of recipes that have un-cooked eggs in them, guess you just have to take your chances?
I know that eating raw eggs is considered unsafe, and I tend to get really nervous about it too, but think about this: how many salmonella cases do you hear about, and how many people out there eat raw cookie dough all the time with no consequences? I know the risk is there, but it seems pretty minimal.
What the warnings about uncooked eggs do not tell you is that 99% of the salmonella that is passed on from eggs is from eggs that were not washed properly at the farm, or from eggs that have not been properly refrigerated, or eggs that were not pasteurized.
Check the expiration date on the carton, keep them in their container in the fridge, preferably at the back of the shelf (more stable temperature back there, as opposed to the front, by the open door), and make sure that the carton says Pasteurized. Open the carton to make sure there is no dirt or chicken poop on them.
Don't forget to save us a piece of that pie!
