I don't think there is an unsafe-current draw from AA cells. The voltage will just sag and prevent too much current from being drawn (excluding dead shorts perhaps).
See this (http://www.duracell.com/oem/primary/alkaline/mx1500.asp) for how quickly the voltage drops with a 1 amp current draw.

If you have many cells in series, one of the cells would eventually reverse and under heavy current, the risk of leaking is significant.

Good point. I was just thinking of a single cell application.
