It doesn't hurt non-willows as long as you do it fast enough, most of the times it'll show that you're being burnt but it's only for a split second, so you don't take damage, otherwise there's no indication you're being burnt. Be warned though, non-trees (so far grass, saplings, and mushrooms catch on fire faster than trees) will catch on fire faster so I wouldn't recommend doing this near them, it'll catch on fire fast enough before you can cut it (at least it is much harder to prevent the spread of fire).
