It's still Turing complete because it can perform arbitary computation; it just can't cause arbitrary behavior at the machine code level. (Indeed, making a VM that's both Turing complete and safe is not generally a hard problem - for example, most Brainfuck interpreters qualify. The hard problems are making safe interfaces to the rest of the system, and speed.)
