I do not believe this is a Workflow issue as much as a sharepoint security issue.
I suggest you amend the
security policy file so that UnsafeSaveOnGet's are allowed, like this:
<IPermission class="SharePointPermission"
version="1"
ObjectModel="True"
UnsafeSaveOnGet="True"
/>
Remember to reset IIS after making the change.
