I just got my collapsible 50/2 Summicron back from John Van Stelten after a 
polish and recoat of the front element. Looks like new. This lens does not 
seem to collapse deeply into the body. Is it safe to use with an M5? Both 
are chrome and I'd like to put the lens on that body.

Nope.  The Leica manual from whatever year it was the M5 came out shows 
putting some tape on th elens to keep it from crashing into your meter flag.
