The idea with braking into the turn is you put the maximum weight on the front tires thereby giving them the most grip (much more than if the car is accelerating which places more weight on the back tires). The outside front tire, that would be the front left if you are turning right, will have the most grip of all four tires if you are braking and turning at the same time. This allows you to turn a little faster than you normally would. Amature drivers, or drivers new to the track, are typically instructed to get their braking done before turning. As you noted, this is a safety issue. However, braking as you are turning is the far superior techinique if you are shooting for the lowest lap time (under normal conditions, ie not passing anyone, or driving in a Miata).
