I also tried one of my just-bought ebony ones. This was a cheap set for $6 and the first one jammed in the guitar top and wouldn't come out. Some moron had made them too short so the old push up from below trick (thanks ICBM!) wasn't much help. I got it in the end, and got it without damaging a lovely near-new hand-made guitar, but there was a struggle and some language.
also what about any other bit of "untreated wood" - what if the bridge itself expanded ?

It is a theoretical risk, although at least with ebony I would say it's very unlikely - it really isn't affected by humidity to any significant degree.
